Thanks Martin, I wasn't doubting you but since the Mk2 has a new hull design I wasn't sure if they kept everything else the same. Actually can you tell from Ebay link of the bottom of the hull if it looks much different from yours?

I'm assuming you had the first revision or did you have the 2nd one?

Thanks.

I believe the hull bottoms are the same, ive looked at the mk2 boats & they appear identical on the bottom. The big diff is in the deck & hatch, the deck slopes up much higher putting the modified hatch higher still. Also the rear of the hatch now sits in the recease rather than going to the back of the hull, they have also made access appature longer at the front making getting the battery easier to get in & do the velcro straps easier. I believe the higher deck & higher hatch is to make self righting better.

OK, makes sense. I see EmpireRC now has all their Joysway line showing everything in stock (too bad they don't carry the Offshore Warrior). This is a good sign as they've been out of stock for months. I wonder if Steve will carry any Joysway.

If anyone knows of a US retailer that has the OSW, please post. Thanks.

I just noticed that your box is labelled 9301B, it really should be 9304. I'm wondering if other vendors really are selling the Mk2 under the old SKU#

Any idea how much they charge for shipping to you.

I took the plunge on one from ordersmax also. Shipping was $12.76 fedex to NY. We shall see. BTW Joysway does list the model number as 9301 for the warrior. Possibly the "B" represents the updated version.

Wow... that's really reasonable shipping!

I see on the website that they are offering 50% off shipping. Was there a code you had to enter?

[rabosi]

No code. I didn't see the 50% but maybe it was included.

[MassiveOverkill]

Mine was also $12 shipping. 9304 is definately the Mk2 code and 9301 is the original SKU. Banggood has the pictures for the old version so I really hope that since it's supposedly coming directly from Joysway, it will be the Mk2 version.
