    Mine is on back order till late Sept. I could buy a RTR for $760 delivered. The one I ordered was $500, but I would have to add a motor, receiver, ESC... The difference is $260 and I could have it now. Decisions. LOL

      I would only use west systems as it cures very slowly, and there is no chance it will mess up the hull. carbon inlays when done correctly add a tremendous amount of strength and rigidity.

        Zpoxy finishing resin works excellent.

                  Tower with discount was $500. The RTR was $910.
                  The $760 price was with a private dealer.

                    Take it from a actually Team Pilot from venom. The arc is a great boat and we had a lot of fun running it at the 2013 Namba FE Nationals, but there is a few things I think that need to be changed personally. The main one would be how the rudder is attached to the servo linkage.

                      are pictures available-showing the setup inside and outside of the hull? it would be nice to see what you are talking about,and maybe discuss the problem.

                          I don't have photos sorry but its a simple fix that any hobbist can change. Venom/Atomix went with a set screw style holder that the servo linkage slips through and then the set screw tightens down onto it and holds it in place. My problem with this is that this is a big boat and once you get the packs in there's a lot of stress and leverage being put right on that point of contact. I would rather see either a cleavace style connection or a ball link connection in this area. One heat at the nats the set screw loosen and we lost all of left turning, it was scary.

                                West systems with 207 clear hardener is just unreal. if doing an inlay your boat will sparkle for years. I have used both and the west systems is incomparable we use it in 6000$ builds. rumdog have you ever used any of the high end resins, they're kinda worth trying lol
