    Ordering parts??

    Since the sotre is "closed" for a while i need to order some parts. What is another good store that would carry the same type of stuff as steven? I need a feigao 8xl, water cooling jacket, and possibly a motor mount.

    Steven has almost a "Monopoly" on the FE boat parts world. Its ok though because we all love his service even when he is closed for a few days. There are others but dealing with them can be tricky.

      ugh, really? I was carrying on a dialog with Steven last night and now nothing.

      So...where oh where can I get this stuff so I can finish this silly boat for the 4th weekend.

        If you order somthing in the store today it will not ship out untill the 6th, because Steven went on vacation.

              or maybe

              in the pond without a propeller

              as the case may be.


              drat, this went from being a fun little project we'd play with on the 4th weekend to a total pain in the backside and a waste of time. I've now spent the whole day scouring the net for these items and come up zeros.
              Turn fins are in HK which is 6-10 days away, That's zero.
              No one has the motor, that's zero.
              Found the water jacket.
              Still hunting for props.
              the hobbywing speedys are all in HK, 6-10 days away, so gotta get the $$$$$$$ castle, assuming of course I could get the other crap, since I can't I guess it's NBD

              I think I'm giving up.
              I guess that back burner this whole project for a while

                  Why would you wait till the last possible minute to order parts and build a boat?
                  I try and avoid paste eaters.

                    I just bought the boat yesterday :)

                    Normally a week is plenty of time, not the last minute. But stores close, peeps go out of biz, ups loses or mangles packages, stuff happens. oh well, guess we'll just have to fly helis and planks, got plenty of them L:) Since getting the boat done for the 4th is pretty much out of the question I have all the time in the world to scrounge up stuff in the classifieds and save $$. Maybe it'll be done for the 2010 4th of july.
                    Dissappointed, but it's par for the course around here lately. SSDD NBFD.

                    I'm not in GA, I'm in upstate SC. My friend is in GA, Powder Springs area which is where I'll be over the 4th.

                      Sorry, I was going by your profile.

                      Good luck rounding up your parts!!

                            The store is still open and orders are coming in as normal. Sometimes credit cards are denied for online orders. A call to your credit card company will clear it up in most cases.

                              Orders on the 26th were shipped before I left, like I promised, unless you received an email that an item was out of stock.
