I've decided to get the HW 60A V4 but can't decide whether or not to spend the extra $$$ and get the wifi module over the LCD program box. Can anyone comment if it's worth the extra money or would I be just as happy with the box?

Thanks.

Anyone?

I just got a platnem 160 and wifi yesterday, took me a while to get it going, but once I got it working its really nice. updated the firmware on the esc straight away, really convenient. once I have the esc working the way I like I will probably remove it from the heli.

If using external governor like brain or vbar I would just get the box as once initial setup done you won't need it again except for updates. If using hobbywing governor might be handy for wifi to do adjustments.

Awesome, thanks guys. I'm planning on using the internal gov...for now.

I am using the program box, have made only a few changes after the initial programing. Works really simply and straight forward. I am using the governor on my brain2 though.

I have both. Bought the box before the WiFi was sold. I like both and for the extra $25 I still think I'd have both. The WiFi module is great. It allows tuning at the field without the use of a computer. Definitely needed if you like to tweak gov settings. The app works really well too. Hobbywing did a great job with this.

I have both of these and prefer the wifi module. I never use the prog box anymore.

I got 2 wifi modules one in the heli tool box(car), and the other on the work bench. Love it

Can I ask which version esc and which program box you guys are using? I bought the multifunction program box and when I connect it to the V4 esc it won't get past the connecting to esc screen.

I have this prog box <---, and all of my HW ESC's are Platinum V4's.
