[RIPFENCE]

FOUND A CHINA SUPLLIER THAT OFFERS SOME NICE LOOKING BOATS RTR AND HE ALSO OFFERS THE HULLS...THE FOUNTAIN LOOKS AMAZING IMO..IF YOU CAN SWALLOW THE PRICE $590.00 I GOT A QUOTE ON IT.. THERE IS A 23 INCH ELECTRIC VERSION I AM WAITING FOR A PRICE ON.MANY OF THEM ARE GAS RTR WHICH THE PRICE IS NOT BAD AND SOME HAVE FREE SHIPPING..KIND OF LEARY ABOUT DEALING WITH THESE TYPE OF SUPPLIERS BUT CHECK OUT ALL THE BOATS. WE HAVE SEEN SOME OF THESE BEFORE BUT A FEW OF THEM ARE NEW

Offer a nitro version too which is 900mm...going to get a price on that one too

[RIPFENCE]

Ok the nitro version is 450.00 but he claims it includes hardware and shipping to the usa..his english is a little off so you may be taking a chance here..and there is no picture of the hardware..i have viewed a few other hulls from different suppliers and some of the installations looked challenged/retarded at best..the electric verson 23 inches is 236.84...anyone want one?

these boats are as good quality as venom products............................. aahahahahahahahhahahaahha

[RIPFENCE]

I like the look of the fountain but who knows what the actual boat quality is could have a ton of flex in the hull..could have a poor powerplant for rtr..i was hoping the price would be a lot lower for just the hull but its really not the case...venom has the right idea with the scale looks but the executuion and durability of their products has been spotty from what i have seen on this forum

What would you power this with electric wise?? 5692 -2028??? or would a smaller motor work fine?

[RIPFENCE]

just depends on speed and money drax...a 5692 with a low kv maybe set up for 10s or so could get into the 50's with a big prop..the castle 2028 would also push it faster..i personally would not go any smaller then a 5692..you need a large diameter can capable of big torque to push a big gasser style boat..the best bang for the dollar would be the 5698...i would take a chance on one if they were cheaper...

A bit off topic but where's the best place to get a 5692? Is 1090KV too much for a 48"+ mono hull or is 730KV more suitable?
