Yep, we're just not putting the switcher on these versions. Then the mods of solder posts, no switch and no fan. It will include information on the special software and of course it has the standard 1-year warranty.

Special software? What is special about the software.

Also that was fast in getting this stuff together, good job guys! I will be placing an order before the Dec 11 cutoff!

Because the speed control's processor won't operate correctly below a certain voltage. The special software allows the controller to keep the voltage above the minimum operating voltage of the processor. Without the software the controller will shut off randomly when the voltage dips down below the minimum.

Ahhh very cool, I hate when my controller randomly shuts off!

Wil this version have a LVC for 1s ?. Also can i assume i still need a reciver pack or external bec pack or a novak smart boost for the radio ?.

It will not include a 1s LiPo cut-off, that is something I will be talking to the engineers about.

You assume correctly. Because we've had to disable the onboard BEC for 1s operation, you will need to supply external power to the receiver. That can be done by using a separate power source like a 2s LiPo with an external BEC or a 4/5 cell receiver pack. You can also boost the voltage using a product like the Novak Smart Boost.

Clarification -- "Custom" cutoff voltages (through Castle Link) will be available for 1-cell range, but there will not be a stick programming option other than "Auto-Lipo" or "Disabled".

^^^^ What he said :) Sorry for the confusion!
