I must admit, I'm feeling the same way as you. Especially about the lack of labeling. I've used the Victors enough that I pretty much know by heart what goes where, but there's plenty of new students on the team, and I'm sure plenty of new rookie teams, who have never seen a Victor before, and pick thme up and wonder what goes where.

The biggest problem by far though is the sheath that you have to file down. It has good intentions, yes, but it took us at least half an hour to get the PWM connectors properly seated in the Victor, because we'd either bend pins or it wouldn't fit in at all. What happened to the Victor 883's with no sheath, so much easier to just use some hot glue...

The plus side is that once you get the PWM connector in, it doesn't seem like it's going to be moving very far, just don't plan on making five second repairs in the middle of the finals, because it'll take you quite some time to replace a victor this year.
