The difference between the 883's (discontinued) and 884's is that the 883's have a larger deadband around the center (they provided control of approxmately 10-100% power in each direction, whereas the 884's provide ful 0-100% control in each direction).

The Spike Reds (long discontinued) defaulted to the "on" output state on both channels unless they were told by the RC to be "off"; the Spike Blue defaults to the "off" output state (safer).
