Blackjack 29 pricing

[jamespl]

I'm in the UK and the current line of proboat fast electric boats retail at around the £300 mark. I was really interested in the BJ29 so decided to do a search and I've seen it on 2 UK websites for £179.99 which works out at about $250 to you guys in the US. This seems very cheap to me as the impulse V2 is priced at £279.99. Needless to say I snapped one up and await it on pre order. Just wondering if this is a mistake? Regardless I've paid now and if they argue the toss surely they have to give it me at that price as I've paid.

They're listed at $419 USD on the ProBoat website, maybe you're getting one without hardware/radio gear or a smaller version incorrectly listed as the BJ29. I mention the smaller boats because some of the new smaller boats are in that price range.

It's deffo the BJ29 RTR. I don't really want to put the link up as steve will sell them but it says includes spektrum 2.4ghz radio, 80a esc, 1800kv dynamite motor and listed on what is needed to complete the model it says batteries and charger!

[nickB722]

Sounds like you got a heck of a deal then, seems very cheap for that setup, I wish I found a deal like that for my Impulse!

[jamespl]

I think they have dropped a bit of a klanger there though. But it's advertised at that price so I will make sure I get it at that :)

Have these UK shops have them in stock yet?

No not yet, asked this yesterday and this was the answer "This may take 2 - 3 weeks to arrive on the next shipment."
Was at wheelspin

I orderd last Saturday the BJ 29 for 180 pounds at Wheelspin. They shipped it today, but at the moment already out of stock.

Ordered mine for 149 GBP last week and got it today. She's a beauty!! Now to gut the inards and get the 180A in there with the 1400kv Leopard for some 6S fun... Anyone interested in the stock ESC and motor?

[MY00]

Where did you ordered it?

[lomdel]

It was 179 from Wheelspin but less 30 tax because I'm from South Africa = 149 GBP

[MY00]

And what about the 80 pounds of shipping costs?
OK, I paid 15 pouds of shipping costs.

What will you be asking for the stock motor and esc?

What will you be asking for the stock motor and esc?

Shipping from South Africa is going to be more expensive than the hardware itself, so I guess I'll keep them as back-up... Similiar items will appear on eBay soon, I believe...
