The prices on Hobbywing's website are pretty much the same as any shop that I have used for HW stuff.

Thanks! I've been checking there and I haven't seen it so it must have just gone up!

Time to find a coupon.

That isn't the case anymore. You have to cater to a variety of performance and screen resolutions, same OS be damned.

I ordered a system. $228 shipped.

Clearly youve never actually used either of this IDEs or you would understand how much more of a hassle android is lol. But yeah, doesnt really matter. Castle chose Apple.

iOS does all that for you though. All the "variety" is in the API. Its way easier to do than Android.

Where from?

I'll have a system in a few days as well. Gonna do an in depth teardown on the bench, in depth testing on the rocks compared to a Castle X with Puller Pro, and pull it all together into a recommendation.

Watch the descent. Very cool!

When and where can i get one? Would this work well in a badass Wraith build?

David Arnold The 540 specification is expected to be available on the market in June. It can be used in the ghost RC. There are 550 specifications for listing.

So maybe we can expect stronger 550 motors for the 2.2 size trucks ?

That's very cool! But nevermind the electronics.... I want those test obstacles in my yard! (If my yard was big enough)

Which kv did you choose? I didn't even remember it was offered with multiple motor options so I got 2300kv by default. That's what I get for trying to order before it went out of stock.

I guess I'll have to gear down and, possible, volt up!

My link? Works for me. It's on that GNRC channel that you linked to. They're the only ones posting videos of the system on YouTube.

At the very beginning of that video, where he is holding the chassis in his hand, it seems to cog at startup. It could be a jerky trigger finger. Let's hope.

The rest of the video that I saw, which is only a portion since I skipped through it, seems smooth as butter.

So listening to the new HW motor , to me, it sounds like a HH revolver, that whiny noise. Its like they put the can on the outside of that revolver motor to silence it a little.
Thats just how i hear it .
