    Looks good mate.

    Yes some do take their hobby too seriously.
    Some do life in general.

    Have a blast.

    It's me that needs it probably. I'm struggling with the reaction times when it's going at full noise, especially when it's heading towards you and you need to steer it in the opposite direction. That could have something to do with my tiny brain.

    the 'soft start' feature that Dave is talking about is only for the throttle usually, so when you go full throttle from standing it builds up speed over a few seconds instead of instantly. Does nothing to help you avoid trees and ankles.
    My brushless half8 needed it or else it'd sit there rotating on the spot

    EDIT: re-read yours and Dave's posts, max speed limiting may help...
