i think i'll wait for the"Hull only" to be available, then build it myself hehe

G-Freak has some good cats for sale, hehe

[Jeepers]

this is why I don't order/buy anything that has just been released to the market.

This isn't a holiday weekend for everybody on the planet.

We'll be making good on this. If you can't wait, the drive is standard .150" cable with a 3/16" stub. We wanted to make sure everybody could use standard parts, and it looks like that will pan out for you die-hards.

Details will be out next week.

Steve, once again, you are the man!!

This is a minor issue compared to the, first GEN UL1 with the turn fin problem , but we all still brought them !!! i own a few Pro boats & think they are well made , looks like steven flex sales will go thru the roof LOL . Like a few others i like to make my own shafts with the ends Loctited on cause they dont fall off like the solder ones !!!

Good catch !! but i think this wont put me off buying a Geico, just my 2 cents worth

[tth]

The hull is a beautiful yellow and is a lot better built than the BJ26. I have tons of counter rotation props too......I can still run her either way!!!!

[Steven Vaccaro]

For someone that can glue a cable, cut the flex and solder. Its a cheap $10.99 fix.

A regular Octura .150 cable with 3/16" shaft will fit

Please let us know... I would like to see how widespread this issue is. Stupid mistake!

Darin,

The HH technician I talked to tonight was extremely sheepish and felt very bad. I agree that it is a bonehead mistake but on balance it is a very minor thing compared to how awesome the boat is. I will order a new one from Steveo and wait for my stock replacement as well. Heck, if something was going to happen to the boat I would rather have this happen instead of the ESC exploding and marring that beautiful hull!

[airman66285]

Thanks, man. I really didn't want to intrude where I don't belong, but the Geico has me wondering if I could fit one in my fleet , it looks so promising for a Spec LSO boat! The last time I raced a Cat in LSO was WWIII in AZ and I really sucked - this boat could be a winner, I'm thinking, and I'd love to see how it'll do - methinks very well.

Oh, speaking of intruding, got any vids of that fine Intruder in your avatar ?

I think it would make a very worthy addition to your naval armada!

[onegreenray]

yup mine is reversed as well.

Pressing the "LIKE" button....

For those of you thinking of installing dual motors, there is going to be a large supply of counter-rotating cables.

I will give all the details of getting replacement parts form ProBoat as soon as they have it all solidified. They are working on it as I type, and the manufacturer is working on getting a supply of replacements.

I was told that the new boats in stock, once the replacement is available, will be packaged with the replacement shaft and instructions/tech note inside the box.

The bad news is that it's likely going to a few weeks at least before they have them ready and here to distribute.

Sign me up, my flex is clockwise instead of counter-clock. I will shot HH a email tomorrow. Looks like this went viral, O well this isn't a major deal for us guys. Maybe new boaters who have no clue, that could be an issue. I had a extra hyperformence cable laying around .150 3/16. It is about 1/8 inch shorter than the stock flex, hopefully it works.

[tman52804]

I contacted HH this morning. The person I spoke to wasn't aware of the issue, but they put a flexshaft on order for me.
