Please don't take this as bashing their products but a couple of notes for you to consider:

Servo is not included. We ordered a prototype of one of the boats from the factory. It is dang near impossible to find a servo to fit their mount (which is epoxied in) and then to get it into the mount up under the deck. Too frustrating for the newbie so we declined to carry the boats. Further, the driveshaft is a very strange arrangement. You will not be able to retrofit the boat with anything other than their shaft.

We had very poor results with one of that factory's boats so we discontinued them. Quality is very poor. ESC failures were rampant and many boats received with cracked hulls. Paint jobs were pretty bad. Water jackets leaked like crazy. Consistency was non-existent. The boat did run well but we had far too many of them returned.

But if you want something really cheap (near cost!) then go for it.

Some one i know has one of the hydros made by this company, I saw the boat last sunday & it had a number of very big cracks along the top of the deck. One was around 8-9" long, These werent just light surface cracks in the gel but right through the gel with just what looked like a thin layer of glass cloth holding it together. I dont know whether it was true gel coat they use or whether the hulls are some type of plastic moulding with glass cloth a resin inside the hull as the gel/plastic did look very thick indeed when the crack was opened up but very flexy with just a thin layer of glass under the cracks. Thanks Martin.
