You know what would be nice?

If Venom would come out with a one box does it all deal....

Temp monitor, speed meter, volt meter, systems check, fail safe,and digital tach... all in one box. They could sell one standard "box", and then sell all the different probes, and sensors seperate.

It sure would be nice to be able to do it all with one little box, than to have all this stuff seperare, and mounted all over the chassis.

yea and it would also have a high price tag and they would sell less than what they do seperatly

That would be very nice but for the novice RC'er it wouldn't go over very well at all.

Well, what I think Bill is trying to say is, if they were able to sell one box cheaply, and sell all the different probes seperately...
That would be a great idea... Only get the probes that you want... As for speed & systems monitor, I could care less.... But I would pay for the failsafe & temp monitor... Nice concept...

C'mon most novice rc'ers think if it looks cool it must be cool. They'd buy one just to be the first on their block with one.

Ya know how they could do it is market it all in one interface as he said but use a pc interface to change what aspects of it you might want. I have been looking at that new product that interfaces with your pc that gives you a bunch of feedback on your ride and what it's up to. I just saw it on RCcaraction the other day.

Yep... If they had one box that could do everything, and just sold all the probes seperate, you could pick and choose what you wanted to use it for.

For instance, if I wanted the fail safe, and engine temp kit, I could buy the base computer, and the probe for the engine temp, and a wiring harness to plug in the fail safe wiring. Later on, if I wanted to add the speed meter, I could just buy the probe that could plug into the box and add it also.

it was just a thought.

Thats would be sweet if they could do that but cheaper than what they sell all of the stuff put together. I would buy it.

I think he's on to something here. If you wanted a temp gauge and a failsaife you would have to ahve two modules laying on ur RC. You could have just one and cycle from one to the other. As you got more experienced you could buy add ons. I'm not sure wether it help or hurts the issue of confusion to dealing with 1 complicated or many simple ones. What if they kept selling the single purpose tools and had one that had it all combined. I dont know.
