just curious how the products are. saw a nice mono artr for cheap money brand new. also was looking at some hardware for cheap money on there. just wondering if its worth it. Regards,Dana

If you are going to buy a rtr or artr its probably an ok choice.

The hardware can be found on other sites for less.

If you need stuff quicker OSE has an assortment of items you could have in a few days time.

From what Ive seen, HOTR shipping is for the regular cheap mail delivery- which can take 20-49 days or so.

EMS shipping is the best solution- but its more money.

...havent bought from HOTR, but have from OSE, living in Australia their service was great and shipping was fast.

i think there great as an entry level boat, the first question is parts. That the reason i dont buy over seas. When i want it i want it now and in my personal experiece i will spend twice the money to have it today rather than wait, if you have other boats or dont need a rocket just a cheap quick fix ,pull the trigger. If you want support and advice from people with tried and true boats stick with the proven designs

I'm not sure on their product but there customer service is definitly lacking. I tried to buy off of their site and it wouldn't let me. 3 emails and 10 days later I finally got a response saying that that part of the website isn't working yet. I emailed Steven this morning and he got back to me within the hour!!

Yes ive brought a few items including the 25" deep vee ARTR with motor and ESC- racing spec red for my son. The RTR is the best prepared boat I have purchased. added a bec and liposhield and it has been bulletproof, finnish is also excellent.

Postage wasnt that slow to Australia either, similar to OSE or Kinetic, items well packaged.

Cheers

HOTR site itself is very hard to get a contact and even harder to order off of (to the States). HOTR ebay site is fantastic. Usually get items 10-15 days to FL. Never had a problem, never had a communication issue.

I have several of thier products but no RTRs from them. All of them have been just as good as anyone elses Ive got.

You can buy a 25" from Kintec and get it in 3-5 days the Prince
