This is a really interesting product, i'm looking to get an FRS soon and just been researching for poops and giggles. is this compatible with a Unichip piggyback? I'm really interested in the Unichip and i'm wondering if anyone has used it with this product?

are you saying that out of experience or just because you haven't seen someone try it? you seem very confident so it would be nice to see some facts.

Here's some facts I owned a unichip. I own an open flash tablet.

The unichip is garbage.

The open flash tablet actually does useful things.

Unichip is fine for other vehicles, but I sold mine 10 cents on the dollar

I like making my own tunes. Can't do that with unichip.

I'm saying thay because unichip doesn't support a tune for it. Thus its not.compatible

Compressor Bracket

Many Thanks to keen as for his compressor bracket.

Really firms up the intake and results in some additional ESC noise goodness.

Does the bracket flex enough for engine movement? I guess the intake tubing flexes enough?

Doesn't seem to be an issue. The rubber washers near the radiator allow that end of the bracket to flex a bit.

The bracket itself is only 1 - 1.2 mm thick and is fairly flexable.

The benefit is that it takes some of the load off the 2 remaining intake bolts so the connection to the intakes snorkel lines up better.

I noticed with my mishimoto intake I no longer have any flex.

AFAIK nobody has looked into the idea of a RPM guage on the dashboard to really keep an eye on what the ESC is doing. Would be especially handy now with Procede management when the voltmeter often doesn't reflect lower RPM inputs at partial throttle.

Something like this seems applicable but I'm not electrically savvy enough to be sure how it'd be integrated:

http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...BL_Motors.html

Cheap enough to give it a go and throw it away if it doesn't work out.

Also for you guys who may not be monitoring the Software tuning section, be aware that there's (possibly) a problem with OFT's which become bricked after the latest firmware/software auto-update. There's a thread about it, but no input from Shiv and Co at this point. Workaround for the time being is probably to use the OFT but don't let it connect to the internet at any point – especially if it's been some time since you've done so.
That's just my speculation, YMMV.
