This should get you started, but you will still need props, antenna, 12 or 14 battery cells, Deans connectors, linkage boots, cooling hose and fittings.

Welcome Taipan175. You will find the OSE site to have the highest integrity of any commercial FE boat site. There are other sites which are very good or which have a different selection, but Steven's service is second to none. You will be happy buying here, and you will not be ripped off.

Thanks for backing me up!!

The site is safe and I make sure we ship everything in a timely manor.

Hey Taipan, you can't deal with a better company, recently while trying to find an ESC for a boat build that I'm working on Steven spent almost the whole day on email with me identifing it and then getting it ordered!

And 1 more thing answers/advice you need answers this site will give you them!

[Darin Jordan]

... Steven spent almost the whole day on email with me identifing it and then getting it ordered!

...he apparently hasn't sent you the final bill for that yet... :doh: :D ;)

[Eodman]

Darrin -- Did you put the collection cans out to help pay this bill off!

[taipan175]

[taipan175]

[taipan175]

also i have been getting confused when people say "cells", 12 to 14 cells, what does it mean?

[Steven Vaccaro]

That means 12-14 Sub c Nimh cells in series.

I live in Sydney Australia, the Fastest I have received goods is 7 days longest 2 weeks ( from date of shiment) but normally about 10 days.

and nothing has ever been lost in transit.
Also If the order is under $1000AUD there is no import duty.

[ReddyWatts]

Yes, this is the batteries.

[Quicksilver]

well, I'm only 400mi away from OFE but it seems like steve teleports his shipments using some kind of black magic. :tongue_smilie:

Usually get packages in 2 days...very very fast, especially considering he doesnt charge much at all for shipping.

[FLEETMASTER]

My last one was 13 days including weekend etc.
