The throttle signal varies from 1ms pulses to 2ms pulses. From what I understand:

An airplane min throttle is 1ms and max throttle is 2ms.
A car reverse/brake is 1ms, neutral is 1.5ms, and max throttle is 2ms.

So, the pistix adaptor has to convert a pistol radio's 1.5ms neutral signal to 1ms while still providing a 2ms pulse for max throttle.

I hope that made sense.

As far as ESCs are concerned, the sky's the limit. There seems to be a much greater selection of these and they're cheaper to boot. Even the Quark 125 air ESC is quite a bit cheaper than the Quark 125B car ESC, and they have the same specs.
