    I just received an e-mail from Joe Petro and he said that they are a week behind and will expect to start shipping next week. I've been on the list for 4 kits for my club members and myself for quite some time. Can't wait to get a Spec rigger class going here in Atlanta. I think we will power them with a UL-1 system.

          Just for future reference guys, Jim Geiger who owns Performance Graphix of Virginia will have available, decals of the JAE checkered flag logo as well as JAE21FE decals. He can do them in any size and color you want. Jim is an RC boater that does custom cut vinyl graphics as well as high quality durable printed vinyl graphics that DO NOT need clear coating. So when the time comes, contact him if you need any JAE decals or any other graphics for that matter.

            Our JAE 21FE kit differs from the JAE 21GE.
            We designed the FE tub to hold a 4 cell 4000-5000 mah "brick", and a 36mm water cooled UL-1 type of inrunner.

            Our kit has a flat top with tape down lids, so the tub inside dimensions are 2.5 wide and 2.25 high.
            We chose not to modify the sponson boom locations, as this would mean more parts and expense. As it is, both 21 boats (21G2 nitro and 21FE) share the same sponsons.
            We are having billet motor mounts made specifically for this application by Lawless Drives.

            As for delivery date, here is the scoop:
            We are currently cutting the nitro kits. We do production runs of 40 kits a week.
            On Thursday, we will begin cutting the FE kits, with shipping beginning the following Monday.

            We have a waiting list for the 21FE, so if you are considering this boat, please email list @ zippkits dot com.

            We are working hard to stay as close to release dates as possible, but not at the expense of quality.
            We are cutting kits as fast as we can get raw materials.

            Thanks for being patient, and if you have any questions, please email us. No PM's or posts please. We check email all day, but rarely get to the forums.

            Thanks

                  Will be interesting to see how they hang with the Raptor.

                    YEE HAW! On the first run waiting list!!

                    Sorry about your Skins Mike...Very good game though!!

                      Watching that game as a Redsking fan was kind of like watching a Tsunami coming in while standing on the beach. You see it and don't quite believe it's happening. But you still know it's comming. Then you just hope it misses you. Then CRASH!!!! Oh well, Dan Snyder doesnt sign my pay checks.l.......

                      How did you find out you were on the "A" list Kent? Did Joe contact you or did you drop him a email. When did you get on the list? I signed up November 20th.

                        Hey!

                        I emailed Joe today originally to find out if the Lawless motor mounts would be included in the FE kits (they won't be...he is still waiting on them to be sent to him before deciding what they will each cost)...then I just asked if I was even on the first run...

                        I put my order in with him on Nov. 17 and was contacted by him on NOV. 18...so you might be good!!

                              Kent, the JAE 21 would be my first FE rigger.
