    The parts not being in stock blues

    I bought a shockwave bl 3 weeks ago, I really like the boat until it was time to start to get parts, I lost both the hatch and radio box cover. When I found out they where on back order until nov/dec I got pretty mad, well my lhs was able to get horizon to ship a radio cover to them which was cool, I'm trying to get a hatch yet. Well I was getting sick of lokking at this boat on my self, not being able to drive it. I looked around my hobby room and after 2o min I was able to create a hatch so I can at least go drive it. Sorry for the poor paint job.

    I'd order a used damaged boat from Hobb-e-mart bank some spare parts. Have a extra hull or take what you need and sell the rest. JMHO

      I've looked into that, they are keep an eye open at horizon for me if a damaged or returned boat comes in.

          I've been checking but most boats go for well over $100 for a $10 part

              Lost the brown part first time out, hit a wave hatch came up, brown part blew off, hatch landed back down. Drove a few more weeks and put black tape on to hold hatch down, ran it one more time with out tape, flew off. Lost another hatch on a proboat earlier this year. Every thing has foam to float now.

                    The part I only need is the hatch, horizon sent me a brown part, and i got a new esc out of them, unless you want to split a hatch I had one ordered too, I am hoping they show up soon but my boat runs pretty well now. I am just sick of looking.

                        I was joking spliting a hatch down the middle, each get a side. I don't have much warm weather left, most boats I've seen on ebay go for well over $100.
