HPI Switch

So, what do you guys think of the HPI Switch? Looks like a 1/10 mini that will compete with the Tamiya minis..... looks pretty good. When can we get one?

Looks like a cool car but HPI seem to be taking their time releasing it and with the new Tamiya M-05 now available perhaps they are tweaking the design.

Kind of looks nice...just never saw a steering servo configured that way. Overall i hope they come out with some hopups, because it seems to look kind of toyish to my eyes, instead of the look of hobby grade. I wonder how the handling is........

I still believe that the new Tamiya M-05 is the way to go.

Thanks for posting up the vid.....it looks like in stock form it would take a lot of work to get the Switch to run right.
