Traxxas TQi Transmitter

Does anyone know when this transmitter will be on the shelves? What are your general thoughts about it?

I thought the iPhone integration was pretty slick...provided the info is accurate.

It's already hit the ebay chop shops, I would wait a little while before getting it though, as with anything new I've read a couple posts about people having problems with them.

I know the newer gear covers for the Rustlers have a sensor port, it will probably use something like they do for the speed on the Losi trucks.

My LHS already carries an e-revo that comes with TQi.

I'll definitely wait until my local shop gets them. I'd prefer the power-up pricing over retail.

Do you use the iPhone app? What are your thoughts? Accurate? Gimmicky?
