But this does look good... almost always have my tablet PC with me when bashing so not as much of a problem, but not that expensive and would be handy.

If Castle made it the way I mentioned before, then it would be nice. What I mentioned was to have the progammer hold any updates and then without the need of it actually be hooked to a PC transfer the data to the ESC(s). Hobbywing did do the programmer with the LCD like I mentioned.

I bought a "Dell Mini" for the track/bashing adjustments, This will be far more portable and forgiving if dropped in the dirt. But, no smokin' hot naked broads for a screen saver tho

lambchops · 12.11.2009, 04:31 PM

wow that is really nice and at $25 its a great price!! When you getting them in Mike? :)

I'll be picking one up for sure.

Awesome, put me down for one. Building in the CastleLink was a great idea, I can get rid of those and just have this now, no need for two separate pieces of hardware to break, lose, etc.

(Maybe this should go to the Castle section?)
