      Yea price is still WAY to high. I think the extra money from all the price gouging goes to Bunny, she may be "pay 2 play"

            Whoa interesting. They have taken shots at AQ now taking shots at Castle. I wonder what their "Extensive" testing consist of?!? I find it funny that running a esc at 20 amps continous over the MANUFACTOR rated specs is considered "SAFE FOR ME" I will thank you later for blowing my esc up for over-rating a esc that the designer posted at 180 amps cont... I wonder if their stickers are good for 20amp cont... ?

            PS. Thank you G-Freak for pressing 2 buttons on the programming box to program my esc and charging me $100 for it. I rather just buy the $4.99 box myself. Also if I am just buying it from you and you don't know what set-up I am running, how are you programming it to my specs?

                That can of energy drink will come in handy when you are up all night fixing all their F-up's on the boat you buy from them.

                        danaaaaaa.... Are you our resident G-Freak? Did it break, or did it have a small problem with a teflon liner? Also, since it happened, look at all the forum support he has recieved.

                          They charge over inflated prices......
                          They rant and rave about their "experience"........ (which I assume is the ability to put labels on things)
                          They repackage everything and call it "custom"........
                          They use shiny objects in their advertising (Bunny,,,OK, ,,,,,I'll give them that one).............
                          They flame forums in an effort to make themselves appear smarter....
                          They run boats up on shore in their vids........(I should try that to gain from their "experience")
                          They can't even seem to take themselves seriously if you listen to some of their commentary on their vids....

                            Here's the difference, Miss Geico, Stilleto, SV27, UL-1 all developed by respected and successful racers from the ground up. Nothing is 100% perfect, but I bet they get the customer service they need. If I make 100 boats and 1 fails, I still have a 99% success rate. I have watched their videos and seen terrible driving, one of them refered to a series circuit as a "serial" circuit stated to use 6mm plugs because it "lower resistence or whatever it's called". As I buyer I want to buy something from someone who knows what their doing and more importantly why their doing it. In the video on the homepage I want to buy a boat not a bb gun, so why are showing it to me? Their is also respect in this sport do you think Grim or Darin ever bad mouth each other, I never heard them do that. They respect each other even though they work for competing companies. So why does G-Freak take shots at leading compaines? They have bad mouthed AQ & castle, and for what? You earn respect by giving respect, and they have given none. JMO

                              The chick is sexy looking , how do I get her phone number???? ( the one dipped in the foam where you can also see something like rc boat )
                              I would never allow my kids to run their boat in the bath top, that must be one of the original freaking ideas of G-Freak.....
