Not convinced.
For the majority of people it doesnt matter, you need caps on ESC power input.
The function I suppose is not for this thread so let's leave it.

On to orange RX DSM2 compatable recievers.. I have used the 3 ch ones and have had no problems

Smaller than spektrum and so far seem to be just as good, however I have only used them in micro applications with no serious servo loading.
