Seems "G-Freak" has Freaked Out

[T.S.Davis]

They could bring on someone with a reputation to help them in some way. Worked for Aquacraft. Proboat finally got some help. Why not GF?

An even better way to shut up the haters is to put it on the pond. Show up at some races. Throw down some hot laps. Go fast, turn right, repeat. Heck, find a driver to do it for ya if need be. Drivers win races more than speed ever will.

Terry, you are right, if you talk the talk, you gotta walk the walk.

Tony, good analogy, don't criticize until you walked in their shoes for a mile...

[Steven Vaccaro]

And just remember : Never criticize anyone until you walk a mile in their shoes ; this way when you criticize them you'll be a mile away and have their shoes.

I remember some of those early promo vids. They made it sound like their stuff was the fastest, greatest builds, nothing to compare. Best thing since air. There were a buunch of guys on a first name basis with reps from competing companies seeing those vids and thinking "say what?"

Just rubbed people wrong. We've still not seen anything at any event anywhere to back up the claims. That's the ultimate "in your FACE" when you bring out your wares and they do exactly what you said they would.

I'm not sure if this is the forum he's most aggitated by but to say that our boats are slow and ugly? Well, I'll take that challenge any day.

I'll put my slow ugly boats up against their junk any day of the week !!! In fact a guy at the pond runs their stuff. He leaves every week scratching his head wondering how I could possibly beat his GF setups... Here is my KUNG FU and it is strong

G-freak has gotten some bad publicity on OSE but I think its been worse on RC Universe. Either way to earn a reputation one needs to perform in a manner supportive of your cutomer base. That way you let them go to bat for you. Customer satisfaction will win any arguement. Look at FDM. Some say hell no, no way. Others still buy from Chris and like his services. He is still doing something right other wise he couldnt make his bills right?

Tony, you are in a class all by yourself.

I posted in another thread how they stole or "copied" my idea with the Monster 2000ESC.

I had modified mine in the winter and posted pics of it here and there on forums.

So they read forums get good ideas from them and charge for this knowledge that is readily available?

Caveat Emptor

In their videos they say "it's normal for about an ounce or two water to come in the hull".

No it's not. WTH???!!

Yes, we've got choice.

[crabstick]

well that was a good LOL for the day... what a douchenozzle

[ray schrauwen]

They seem to be getting a bit better but, would they be this way by now if they didn't get pressure from the forums? I dunno but, $300 for a RTR 32' cat sounds not bad at all.

Of course, its hard to tell exactly what I'm getting for $300??? Their web site is a tad confusing.

I'm looking at buying one of their hydroplanes. If I don't buy it from them, who else sells the hulls?

[ray schrauwen]

Read their blog as in the first post up top.

Search the chinese listings as far as i know?

I think people have a right to feel the way they do. However, when you are running a business and make sales, You try to portray a positive sales pitch. This rant on their business site is a definite N0-No! He is scaring away new and potential customers who, prior to this rant had little to no questions. Now they will question his products and services. Do research, and see things that they probably didn't want new or existing customers to see. A business site is no place to unleash your personal beefs. Isn't the primary purpose of a (business) website is to introduce a business and entice new customers? It's a virtual representation of a brick and mortar building and this rant just threw rocks thru the windows...
