Only reviewers would have it at this point in time.

Hopefully they fixed the two biggest flaws in design that cause 80% of the HF8 failures.  Larger gauge wire that doesn't break at the pad fold/motor solder points and replacing the IC motor controller chips with chips that have a higher power rating.
