Good review, Bill. I have both the CH and DML 33s and may actually pick these up at some point. I like the PE ring they offer so this alone may be enough for me to get them.

Thanks, Rob, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

The barrel will be an improvement over the DML/Cyberhobby version, but it could've been soooo much better.

Great review again, Bill. Thanks!
I will buy this set, just because I'm in Asia, and can't afford the shipping for Aber products all the way from Europe. I think that most other Orange Hobby products are superb!

I suspect it's the product's raison d'etre.

I agree with you. They have gone from a standing-start to 60mph in no time. Good value for money, though not that many vendors in other countries. Hobbyeasy.com in HK seems to carry SOME of their stuff.
