300 gr of hotglue LMAO...
what´s the firmware supposed to do to your esc? I use HK SS 18A ones + MWC.

[airbagit13]

It makes your ESCs respond quicker I believe. I have yet to try it but I hear its night and day.

[chatch15117]

yeah it is 8 times more precise. you get 8 times the i/o as a "normal" ESC. i wrote a flash tool for it

I have first to buy the USB AVR programmer, any tips on sources? ... hope I don´t brick my escs LOL...
