no dude... i am serious..

oppss... pardon me... I've yet to notice any problem with my ver 1 for the last few yrs.

Maybe you would like to let us on to what you've heard than keeping us in suspense. Or maybe there is a problem with the controller that I'm not aware of... thanks

i have heard that version 1 will glitch and the ALB will no function effectively. more so, the frequency range will not be far. is this true?

another qn, what are the unique functions that this controller offer, and is this an absolutely obselete product?

1st most, I've no experience on ver2 or blue led.

I've not encounted any noticable glitch on my ver 1 before. Only time it glitch is when I insert the glow heater onto the plug.

I dun use ALB or ABS. I like to jam brakes on the last sec, turn the wheel and slide into the corner Furthermore, I dun like to see the throttle servo working so hard

I've ran (breaking) my car at one of the lorry carpark at east coast parkway at least 100m range... no problem.

Others buy, I buy lor... I wanted to "upgrade" to FM and better servos then ....for the package offered, it comes with 2 better servos, Tx, Rx and rx batt... reasonable priced ...

Think M8 has been around for the last .. er .. 10 yrs??? Time for an ungrade liao ... else who would get the M11?

My 2 cts

M8 is the favourite Tx for most pro drivers in USA. It's a pro-level Tx. I think it's too pro even for me.
