    HK is selling bare hulls now?

    looks like hobbyking is selling bare genesis, apparition and pursuit hulls now, not a bad price for good looking hulls, might be a good idea since most of us just toss half the gear they come with anyways. lol

    Not a bad price!!?? Bare hulls seem a lot more expensive then if you buy them with the hardware What's with that!

    edit: Strange...when I add them to my cart, the price is split in half or even more, then prices are really nice....

          hafta be a member to buy at 130, , but they list non member price as $240.
          Thus my comment ...... rubbish
          :)

          edit: because you have to register and be a member before they sell.. thus the discount is all smoke and mirrors.

          Bu the price is good, irrespective dicounted or normal sell.

            Also noticed they are selling lots of parts now too like rudders and stingers, of course the drive systems are all metric, but stingers should drill out, contimplating buying a genesis or apparition bare hull and making a twin

              The prices of some are lower than when they first came in stock.

              Thank me for that.

              I used the PriceWar button on about 4 or 5 boats & hulls like the Pursuit etc...

              At first HOR was cheaper for most of the same stuff and still is now but, the prices did drop 48 hours after I send in my links.

              Kinda cool.

                You don't really have to register to get the lower price. If you just keep the window open on the item you are interested in, after a few minutes a pop up comes up and says, LIMITED TIME OFFER. or One time offer at the memeber price I think... at least it happens to me when I'm not signed in.

                      Not exactly. Not everyone wants a painted Genisis hull, some people like to paint there own boats.

                      Some people don't want to wait for it from China and some people like to buy from a USA retailer.

                      Once they are out of stock, how long to wait until another batch??

                          Exactly my point.

                          Not always such a great deal there is at HK.

                            I'd buy from Ben AKA FighterCat before I'd buy from HK....IMO!

                              You got that right! Although I do like the $77 turnigy/seaking 180A and $46 turnigy/seaking 120A ESC's.
