HK cpy of the Stiletto 29?

[JimClark]

The outboard is nothing even close to the Horizon Steletto

Looks like a bad copy of the Academy F1 ABS hull and the original is not worth a squirt so this one would be real crap. Do not be fooled F1 tunnels are a design that needs attention to detail, very small flaws can create a very bad ride, this hull is short stumpy with no stumble blocks and an out board leg of a kiddies toy and that is because it is a kiddies toy. Buy the Stiletto or if you do not like Darren's Head and enjoy a build get the VS1

It would be a good bashing boat for the price. Of course nothing like Proboat, but nevertheless good fun.....

It could come from this manufacturer:

I had one of their sailboat and its good fun for the money. Needed a few mods here and there but the fibreglass work was good.

I have joined Darkshadow swarm....

One more and we have the 6 needed to do the swarm sale. I have never even heard of this until the guy above posted about it. A hassle to get people to join up but worth it to save $30.

Someone else if you want the boat sign up with the link and code 16006

Btw im not expecting $350 performance out of a $100 boat. It just looks cool and should be fun to bash around with. I wont be attempting to race it. If it sucks for what I want to do with it I will say so and others can avoid it.

[JCAustralia]

For the price its hard to resist

I'll change the outboard to my brushless K&B one and use their one on one of my scale project..... Sorry thinking aloud....

Tried your SWARM. HK says code 16006 is not valid.

..so this is to get the price $97.20, I see....
Are you guys getting it?

[Flying Scotsman]

I do not understand some of you guys, a decent not great. motor and ESC cost $150.00 and you are going to buy a $100 boat.

I'm just waiting to see them install some big $$ neus or scorpions with Schulze controllers... :D
The boat will be cheaper than one battery...

But I might be tempted...

... when they could get a Stiletto hull for $135.

Some already have esc/motors left over so no extra $$ to setup a better system.
Stiletto hull is $135 + Outboard leg $120 so $255 and that it no electronics yet. not everyone races or has $400 spare for a boat to play alone with.

[Brushless55]

I don't get what's up with the Swarm?

[Brushless55]

Uhhh never mind...
ok who is going to be the first to say these are the same as the Proboat

[vasy]

I don't get what's up with the Swarm?

New HK feature if you can get 6ppl to join to buy an item you get extra discount.
In this example, this boat price is $129 but if 6 join with in 24 hours all can buy it for just $97.
