Better days

On the RC front, I received the radio yesterday, and fitted it today. It's a big difference from the RTR stuff in the HPi pack. Nice light handset, much quicker response, and loads of features.

Had a good run for the first time since the hop-ups were fitted, back on the plastic stock HPI knuckle arms. The Edit ones are just plain the wrong shape. I've told Mirage this, and will be sending them back for a replacement. I think it's shocking that an HPI company, with access (probably) to all the original designs can f*ck up this badly. The front brace needs shims to fit, and the knuckle arms need a miracle to fit. Not good. Not good at all.

So, for the minute, my opinion is very far down the "Edit Suck" end of the scale.
