    it has a usb port at the bottom so i assume that it can be hooked up to the computer for more advanced tuning.

    just heard from ck hobby.

    The combo will is estimated to come out mid february. It will include a motor, esc and program card @ under $100. It will be available in 3200kv,4300kv and 5200kv. The 5200kv will include a 120amp esc so it will cost a bit more than the others.

    The Toro 540 4pole motor is comparable in power to the castle 1406 line of motors

    Some of the guys I fly with use Zippy packs, and have had no problems at all. If truth be known, all the cells are prolly made by a hand full of manufacturers. Then assembled by the other companies.

    Well have fun with that.......the most helpful thing for putting it together after you take it apart is a whole hell of a lot of cursing
