Team Orion R10.1 & Set Up Boxes

[Fozzy1989]

Hi guys

Quick question looking at picking up a new r10.1 is it compatible with the old set up boxes or do you need to get the new + one? Is the only new feature on the + voltage read out?

Cheers

From what I've read the old programming box is fully compatible with the new esc, and yes the only different between the new and old programming box is the lipo checker facility.

Exactly right. I run a combo of R10's and R10.1's and both work perfectly with the old set up box. The new box just had some additional features. Win win.

I've got the new 10.1 but bit had chance to wire it up yet but it's going in an the weekend when my new motor arrives. I read that the old box will work but won't open up all the features.
So I've bought the latest skyrc box that has the lipo checker, as by my reckoning should be the same box just packaged differently and a lot cheeper will be able to see over the weekend when it's all up and running.

Some of the new 1/8th ESC will only work with the new box.
For the 10th its fully ok.

I do not recommend using any other DSB. It may be the same box but software will be different and possibly firmware. Team Orion use their own Software.

You could damage your ESC and Motor!

I was going to download the latest software on to the box in the first place anyway

Good luck with that. I'm told they aren't compatible. Maybe you'll prove that to be wrong.
