I think Traxxas is gone the right way here. The radio remains cheap. The last TQ radio was a good 2.4 GHZ radio. It had D/R, End points, Expo etc. It was just a pain the A^& to use because it had no LCD read out. You had to climb threw blinking lights trying to adjust your settings. But driving wise it was good. Feels nice and connected with the vehicle. Unlike the horrible lag in the cheaper Flysky Radios.

If you want these advanced futures in your radio you can plug in your iphone or buy a cheap Ipod touch. Also adds telemetry.

My question is we seen the prototype hot wire pics for the iphone, we have heard about the speedpassion's bluetooth ESC's for the iphone/android.
..Really Traxxas beat some of the top names in the market to launch it

I am impressed.
