HK Vanquish

[FighterCat57]

Hi,

Do you know if the HOR Racing is still in business? I've ordered the Osprey hull for over two weeks already but there is still no sign of shipping. I try to contact the store both via contact page and [email protected] but no response. Do you know any other way to contact the store owner?

Shipping usually takes two weeks. If no response, it's probably because it's been shipped. I'm not going to do customer service for someone else... but..

shoot me a pm with your order info and I can ask.

I know him personally, I also know he is friends with the owner of TFL hobbies... He get's most of his supplies from TFL Hobbies. He does some dealer reselling and sometimes I get small supplies from him. He's a good guy to deal with. There's been some reports of lost orders and other misc issues, but I have not personally encountered any.

I do know he's pretty busy, usually has 1,000 or more email backed up...

So, yes, I do know the HOR hull is the TFL hull, also known as the Osprey. =) It's also available with rails, which I think is the best way to go as the rails help solidify the hull.

Thanks Ben, Did you ever check the bottom of your Osprey? I am interested in that hull from him and I wanted to order a set of mounts for my Gasser (that nobody else seems to have) but it's just a little creepy when he does not respond to emails.

His website gives no stock status that I can see, I hate to pay for something that is not instock and then not even know when your going to get it. If I send an email to Steve or Fightercat (You) I usually get a response in a few hours or more. Maybe I am just spoiled from great North American service.

Yeah, I like to spoil you guys. =)

I can't speak for anyone else. I order from Steve, HK and HOR regularly. Each place has unique characteristics, services and products. Don't usually have any issues with any of them. But I also don't pay much attention to shipping times as I'm usually busy with business stuff and answering email.

I'll check the osprey and see if I can get some photos.

has any one got an easy fix for this hook problem on the vanquish

[785boats]

gultch.
Although not the Vanquish, I did fill the hooks in on my Arowana. Just used some Auto body filler. Block sanded it flat & smooth & painted with, in my case, chrome paint from a rattle can. Then two coats of auto clear to seal.
I then scuffed it with 400 paper. But I do that to all my hulls anyway.

thanks for your easy and concise reply

upload it to youtube then post a link here. Since there isn't a youtube button in the editor, use this bbscode; (just type out the line and insert the vid number between the brackets. )

[y*t] you tube vid number [/yt]

[y*t]-JjfRJrouG4[/yt]

Remove the * and insert your youtube vid number

Or just post the link that shows up on youtube when you click share. =)

I cannot find it with this code. Put a link or what to write to youtube search engine.

That is an example of how to link to a video you want to post here. On the youtube video page it will give you a link, in that link is the video number.

The video number in the above is JjfRJrouG4 ( I accidentally copied the "-" )

Go you youtube and search for JjfRJrouG4 you will see a video.

I've just received email from HOR Racing today and apparently the item was shipped to my local post office in Thailand 10 days after ordering which is pretty fast for ordering from HK. Somehow there was a problem in the post office and they didn't send me a notification for pick-up.
Anyway, I've picked up mine today and after unpack I would say it is a real beauty. The hull is thick and solid unlike the Vanquish. Most important, the hull bottom has no "hooked" problem and look straight more like the Pursuit. I'm moving all the hardware to this new hull now. Will post result after the 1st run.

Thanks to FighterCat57 for your help following up and to Johny C for your fine product...

Does it have the muffler hole as shown in the pictures?

Any pics of it?

No muffler hole. You will need to cut it out if installing engine. No hole is good for me as I'm planning to use electric motor.

I still don't know how to post picture here, but will try. Any hint?
