    I just got one, but the Tx is defective. I am working with the mfg and the retailer to get it fixed or replaced.
    Was able to fiddle with the telemetry, but did not have channel control. Looking forward to monitoring both motor temps while under way.
    Will reply again once I have some usage experience.

      the MFG helped me update the firmware but the problem persisted. Retailer received the RMA shipment, yesterday.
      Just ordered a second receiver and some temp telemetry modules (3).
      High hopes, but very willing to return it all if it doesn't work out.

        Whats MFG mean?
        Also how did you update the firmware =)? Also what does a firmware update do?

        Thanks

          Technically it's ManuFacturinG, but I have always used it as a shorthand for manufacturer as well, since the concept usually communicates well.

          I got the firmware updater .exe for the FS-iT4-US version from the manufacturer and it updated with no intervention from me beyond plugging the TX in firmware update mode into my Win 8.1 laptop, launching the updater.exe, then clicking "Update". Went to 1.0.2-US.

          Sorry, when the update didn't fix my channel control issue, I just boxed up the TX and shipped back to the retailer. I'll update the next one and be more thorough in checking it out as long as it works - promise.

              Got the replacement, looked around in settings, and them updated to 1.02-US from 07/12/13.

              I recall people complaining they could not set some buttons to "no action" and this is now possible, so that is one possible difference. Anything you were looking for, in particular?

              Haven't had a chance to use it yet, so still no input on that right now.
