I am sold on this now! $800 or so for the car and another 100 bucks for an older i touch or iphone. I do think I will pick up some 5k 40c lipos, but that is less than 100 bucks too. Almost every big rc I have done has cost around a grand if you factor in the batts and radio gear.

That on the fly settings is pretty gangster. Now I want one as well.

Damn, it just keeps getting better.

The cool thing is that all of this technology will not just stay on this car, we will get it everywhere.............

I don't know why everybody hates on the iPhone/ipods I've had both iphones and androids. Ive had an iPhones for 3yrs and and Android phone for a year they both have positives and negatives but I always go back to my iPhone because it just works! Just give one a try u wont regret it! :)

Patrick, How are the sensors setup? I'm not asking for company secrets, Just if they are internal or external and if the esc reads them or the radio.

PS Dont know why I'm saying this but you should really get the software guys to imbed the png's inside the dBase III file...

Good point about rotational force Linc, I hadn't considered that.

Semi makes a good point about it being a game changer in the industry.

Big brother watching us r/c is funny bruce.

Patrick- I can't thank you enough for participating in the Rc-M forums.

clutches have disks, I've never seen a clutch with rubber pucks. I think you should take a clutch apart and revisit this comment. The LST slipper is much like a 1:1 clutch, and nothing like the cush drive.

I like to watch things traveling at high speed come apart violently, the soon to come YouTube videos should be entertaining.

Being able to change esc settings on the fly makes me all warm inside, this tech is pretty dam nice.

The spring thingies. He didn't mean it's rubber, but the idea is the same.

[RC-Monster Mike]

Many 1:1 street bikes have Cush drive rear wheels.

I keep looking and it get's more and more appealing to me.

I think the most appealing part is the body and aerodynamic management that is incorporated in this. That is the thing that always got old when first I started doing speed runs with my modified fastlane/pede then with the erevo. It's get's really tricky to manage the airflow at these high speeds and having that done for you correctly off the bat is an awesome thing.

I like tinkering and all but aerodynamics by trial and error is a tough thing. It's much more complicated than most would think at face value. There were things I did with the pede which I thought would help that ended up having the opposite effect I intended.

Patrick, I want to +2 what Harold(paralyzed) said about your participation here, it is much appreciated and valued. I continuously point people here simply because of that and when posting information on other sites I always point them to the fact you said it here. Basically referencing my quotes to give proper credit and to show people I am not just talking out of my rear like many on forums like to do.

Both. The radio can talk with the ESC directly through Castle Link Live, and get on-the-fly data and setup information and change ESC settings.

But the receiver can also talk to external stand-alone sensors as well.
