Honestly, if you're not spinning at 50K RPM or more, I'd say other than price, the difference is likely negligible between the real ones and the Amazon copies.
    Gold! Thank you so much for your advice. I can't wait till I'm asking about tuning the Mystic for speed.

        That is ludicrous.

          Their paint work is outstanding. Dupont Imron systems, hand worked to the flatest paint jobs I've ever seen. I was just gonna get an auto-body to do a one colour application, like many of my past builds I've done, but I wanted something special for this build.

            I agree... thats mental

            I pay typically 400gbp for a 1.2m long boat

            This 60" mono which is full airbrush, not one sticker was significantly less than your paying.


            Don't forget you previously mentioned you would be going for some higher speeds with this which means crashes and that means paintwork damage.

            My 1.9m Hpr was circa 1900 and that's because i wanted the exact aston martin f1 colour
