    New here Just sayin HI and showing a boat ...or 2

    Gotta Know Joe Hobbies In Spring tx was started outta need. My folks got ill and needed 24 hour care So the wife and I sold our house and moved in. I also had to quit my job. At 1st I started using my R/C hobby to stay busy. But It somehow morphed into a buy sale trade thing That was 4 years ago. I just started the venture into boats So I'm Boat dumb. But good enuff to have fun. We do put out some awesome graphics on all thing R/c Plus we just did our 1st from scratch out rigger too. Lot so of work lots of payoff. hope you enjoy as much as we do...

        Joe, Fluid (Jay) has been racing a long time and probably can recommend many customers to you. You both being from Texas, seems like a natural fit. There was a good hobby shop, Kintec Racing, that just had its proprietor pass away, leaving a gap in good stores. The family is not going to continue, I believe... If you have a web site, please post it, I'm just in Tulsa, but work in Midland all the time. As Jay says, get the word out my man!

        Note: OSE does have a parts division. So please respect that check with them about posting items you may want to sell. Getting your web/email info out seems fair to me, but I don't make the rules...

            Below is a link to our facebook page we own www.gottaknowjoe.com but we found that by the time we get things posted on line it's already sold. Lol so kinda pointless. However our i.t. guy is working on a splash page covering our mission statement with our services.
            If you follow the link you will find some video from yesterday's trip to the pond more to be posted today. We had a he'll of a time. The outrigger needs a few hundred in cash thrown at the electronics but it looks and handles well.
            Our air boat lost a rudder but it floated in to our feet 30 mins later. The stryker f41 as nice of a boat as it is need a motor transplant. There needs to be a few hours of grinding on the head to make it mine forward at the correct speed.. and last the Genisis .. it will tote the mail but time to upgrade all the connectors to 5 or 6mm. It's blistering fast but the soldering connections are coming undone due to heat. It got pretty hot yesterday we did a lot of runs with it the last one was videoed where the boat flipped it had a massive 5800 milliamp 5S on the port side. So when I took it tight turn to starboard it just rolled over.

            The winner of the day was the Blackjack 55 that's been completely customized. It was customized because it was the ugliest boat I'd ever seen with 19 colors of paint added we stripped it down to fiberglass painted a base coat of silver metallic and then went to work with the graphics. Unfortunately the graphic work is in my my hand but by my good friend that helps me Elliott hunt truley amazing with anyrhing he touches..
            We have been trying to break into the graphics end of rc but it's been slow going. We can do them off scaled images via online and mail. Hes a degreed artist and knows his stuff..

                    The used boats you have going through your shop would be of big interest on this site. Boats go incredibly fast! Selling used gear I don't think would ruffle anybody's feathers. Would you take people's wants and try to fulfill that? I think there's a Wanted section on the forum. You might want to drop into that from time to time. Looking forward to seeing you around here, Joe! Check out the Sell section and get a feel how things are transacted on this forum.

                      That's what we are built on... making things possible.. We really would like to get the R/c graphics up and running. I looked for a lot for artist to do my work but most were cliché .... Good but the same,, ya know? When I met Elliott I knew I found something special.. Hes rare .. And ill check out classifieds soon after Ive been around awhile...
                      Cheers
