Awesome, I have been waiting for something like this!

When are they going to be released?

Hopefully this will breed competition from other MFG's(Hint,Hint, Hitec)

Josh brought this radio / rig with him to our comp last Saturday.
It was easy to use and worked well.

This should be a really popular radio!

How would this compare with KO Propo EX-5UR ($185 w/ 2 receivers)? I was looking at buying a new radio soon and was kinda set on KO.

Can't tell by the pics, or I may have missed it, but is there a charging jack on it for charging NiCd's?

Thanks,
SS

Waiting for Tower or somewhere closer to get it in stock... Isn't RC Mart in Hong Kong or something? Can't wait to get my order in.

Sir, you have not been the LHS around my area, or perhaps I just have bad luck. I have yet to meet someone friendly that works at them and they have never really been helpful. So I would rather buy from the internet, not pay the high-sales tax in my area but pay for shipping. Usually the higher price for buying local, the high sales tax is still more than buying on the internet and paying shipping.

Little drive? Renton is south of Seattle and Everett is north... have you seen the traffic in between those two areas? Call me lazy or w/e, but I think my time is better used elsewhere than driving for 45mins one way just to order a radio that I will have to make the trip again when it has arrived. Just wish the LHS around my neck of the woods had friendlier people working there. You know the kind where they actually talk to you and don't wait for you to ask them to help get stuff behind the counter... Whenever I have to ask to get help, it always seems like I am asking the world or something... I just want to give them money in exchange for quality goods and service...
