Looks really good!

If you didn't order the DX8 from Horizon, you could be waiting a long time. Rather than supply the dealers with pre-order customers, Horizon have held most of the stock for themselves until the next production is released, and this is said to be late November. I'm looking at getting the Hitec Aurora 9 now...

Trex 550E and its smaller brother 450 pro! 550 is still under construction! Canopy came as a backup for the original orange-yellow(only 6 GPB = $11 USD)!
Thank you FAST LAD UK

At 3:11 in your video, your brass spacers in the servos are backward. They are supposed to insert from under the servo not the top. The *Flare* of the brass insert gives the servo a bit more of a foundation to rest on
