Compared to the previous version the speedo features more powerful FETs for a lower internal resistance and thus higher power and lower operation temperatures. The all-aluminium case received a new low-profile design that scrubs 2mm of height for easier placement in the car while the V4 controller is also about ten percent lighter. Other features include a CH3/CH4 auxiliary function to adjust features such as throttle rate, RPM lock, turbo functions and more using a 3/4-channel transmitter.
