The Hotwire is not included? Is this required to custom program or is that done with the button on the Esc?

I have them, just not on the site yet. Hotwire is not included with the ESC, but not needed for programming. | |

I couldn't tell a difference between the two, driving them without knowing which was which. The tekin is smaller and easier to stick program. It cannot handle the same amount of power as the MM, which may be trivial in a crawler. I use them for the smaller size and nothing more, as compared to a Castle product. |

A Castle BEC is what I use to power my hungry servos. I set it to 6v generally.

CC BEC has a 10 amp rating... is this the reason for using it? The internal BEC in the FX-R is set at 6v 3A. So voltage isn't the issue??... it's the amperage??!! |

The only extra features of the hotwire are throttle curves, that I can think of. All the rest is easily adjustable via radio, everything you listed. |

I have found the strongest settings to be the same, and more difference with respect to drag brake depending on motor selection instead.
