Hobby King -- 2 More Boats

[silvermansteve]

Hobby King has added a small hydro and mono to their boats section.

Shame they don't have any FE boats in stock

[screwball]

man only 119 for the small hydro!

EDIT: i logged in and the hydro is 109!

the hydro is the same as the hor boat but $50 cheaper. They must have rights to there boats, so you will probably see more of the HOR hardware and kits for hobbycity soon here, I know they have been planning on ramping up stuff for cars boats and motorcycles this spring.

now going back on the HOR website, they dont ship anything to the US

[silvermansteve]

someone on this site said that hobbyking will not actually get the genisis catamaran, or, will not get future orders for it filled, because hobbyking's retail price is too low.

i am not in this business and know nothing about this. but it must have difficult, i think, for a third party to find out about this in advance.

Heard the same thing....

They've got the HOR Apparition cat on there now as well

Seems you have to go thru ebay to get stuff from them

do you guys think the apparition cat would be a good boat to get to start up running electrics again? i used to race nitro but have been out of it and into the rock crawling scene and where we crawl is at the lake and it kills me not to have something to run. any info would be greatly appreciate. thanks carl holtz

Lotsa folks having great luck w/ that hull and hrdwr. Not sure exactly about the esc and motor. Id imagine it would be a mid 30s boat... but very easily upgradeable if need be.

it says 3s is that 2 3 cell packs or one. i was sorta looking for a boat that would run on 1 3 cell. what do you think of the genesis? what usually goes out the esc , the motor or both? i guess mid 30's aint bad for a start.

That would be one 3S lipo

thanks for the info. i guess the speeds arent to bad for only a 3 cell. are they in the states or overseas and how are they to deal with?

Overseas and all the experience Ive had w/ them has been terriffic. I always opt for the faster shipping service not the "Air" and as long as a product is in stock, I usually recieve it w/ in 5 or 6 days.

As for the Genesis, as of now all I can say about it is its is a great looking hull.. and my thoughts on it are, you cant get a hull that size for that price, let alone, it comes painted and RTR. You may find it doesnt want to corner well.... but for sport boating I think it could be a great boat. I know someone that makes up part of that "-20 in stock".. so time will tell.

[wingnut]

does the negative 20 mean they have twenty coming in? man the price seems really low i guess i'm just waiting for the catch. maybe i'll pick one up. the genesis is a beautiful boat . i would probably use it for straight line passes mostly. do you think it would handle slightly choppy water?

[tiqueman]

It means there are 20 people that have paid for them. Id imagine they will be getting in quite a few. And yes, I think it will handle a slight chop.
