Never an issue with Jan at Kintek. Nothing but good service and prompt delivery. Anyone who thinks a stock Zonda is a high end boat hasn't had enough experience with boats. Our job is to tune them to our experience. How many of us have bought a UL-1 or a Miss Geico or a Spartan and just run it flat out without any tweaking or upgrades. I think after trying it and trying to gain more speed require's us to do so. Of course you have to play with it. Funny, my Spartan runs with the batts in the back. My Carbon Fiber 37" Cat runs with the batts in the back. Thats the nature of the setup. My 45" Speedfreak run's with 2 10's batts stuffed in the nose. Again the nature of the setup. It's all dependent on where the other stuff resides. You can bash Kintek all you want but those of us who have dealt with them over the years know better and will continue to do so because we "know". Keep an open mind and an open ear. There's no better place than here to gain your knowledge from. As for bashing Jan and Kintek, I think I would reconsider jumping on another open thread after yours was closed. You may just close the door on yourself and be blackballed like some others have and then all you have is the local HS or a few online shops that don't and wont carry the same line of products like Steve and Jan do. Or you can order from HK and wait weeks for your build products to get here. Just Sayin......

Don't think you can get any more detailed than that other than posting a build threadHere's a link to the Kintec's Web page describing everything in great detail about the boat you bought,,

must be a fancy term for auto mechanic or similar.
In your other ridiculous post about Kintec, you were not able to determine the difference between the words "there" and "their" until I corrected you. And now I'm supposed to believe you're an engineer? God help this country if these are the people @engineering anything lolLast edited by Heaving Earth; 04-04-2013, 11:32 AM.Comment

Cant please everyone....
I've always had good experiences with Kintec so far.
trimarc geico:
Your getting a bit excited about doing f-all work, to a cheap boat, to get it to run with 50% more power than it was intended for......
Seriously... Troll elsewhere.
If you were 1/10th as smart as you say you are you would have never had the problems in the first place.
Surely you have homework to do or something....

Now we are attacking Engineers, LOL? I take offense at that.... (ha ha. Not really) My spelling is pretty bad and my typing...worse!, But you need mathmatically things worked out? There would be no complaining... (I am a civil engineer with a degree to boot...)
Anyways... Kintec: I have had no complaints. If Steve is out or doesn't carry an item, Kintec delivers.
Trimarc: I would concede that you may have had a bad or unfortunate build... I would say your expectations might have been a little high as well, but as it is, Kintec is pretty on the up-and-up and unless you are willing to pay LOTS of money for a race ready custom, ALL the RTR boats need tweeks and modifications at the least... I hear your frustration and I have been there.... But my best advice would be to make the best of it and communicate with the guys at Kintec when something is not per what is advertised or up to your expectations. THese guys do not have a huge staff, so you have to be a bit understanding...
With that said: Happy thursday guys.

Bought this exact boat off Jan last year only things I have done to it are 2 new one piece flex shafts that I bought from Jan after he let me no they just came in and 43mm L & R aluminum machined props from OSE. Plus some normal adjustments I run 4s 5000s turnigy lipos and the boat runs very nice at speeds of around 40 mph. as for the motors they seem to be pretty good they run cool same for the 2 tunigy 120 esc. The batteries are below the esc and there is little drag and the hull sits fine at full speed about 2/3s of the hull out of the water. This boat is definitely my favorite boat its big beautiful and (FAST ENOUGH FOR ME) plus its easily capable of more speed. When I bought the boat there were 2 setups Jan offered right on his web sight with detailed info on what exactly each setup came with and the price. I bought the boat on a Friday and got it Wednesday pretty quick ship. Well that's all I got

That is exactly my idea of enjoyable boat experience. So many new guys want to break the sound barrier! 
I have a question? I never understood the so-called two-piece square end flex , is it simple to change to the one piece shaft Jan sells?Too many boats, not enough time...

Should be cake for a pro like you,
Just take off the old and put on the new and grease it up and go.Comment

Yes much easier than the 2 piece and it saves time stuffing the tube plus the new one piece is stronger and more true. Jan sells them ready to install they are the exact length I am going out at 9 am to run the Zonda for the first time this year bought my snow tube and I am hoping not to use it.Comment

Than use your head and do not push it to hard first time out this year,
