Hi Everyone.
Minicat Racing USA is for sale! I am turning 75 this year and wish to finally fully retire. I have a pretty good stock of Micro Hydros and Mini ECOs and associated parts. Along with the merchandise you will get the website and access to the manufacturer as a distributor.
If you are interested, please contact me and we can discuss details.

This is our 12th year in business.Thanks to all of you over the years.
Jim Slaughter
Enjoy your retirement Jim, you have some great boats, I have a Mini Eco I enjoy, and it is my newb friendly loaner boat when on 2s.
The manufacturer makes great stuff, their new Mini Mono ARTR swept the board with 1st, 2nd and 3rd in class at last years world champs.
Hey Jim, was there much flex with the sponsons on the glass or carbon Starship? The hobbyking knockoff is a flexi mess, sold it.

BUT, they were rock solid.

Thanks Paul!Quote:

That's why I gave away the HK version. It was soft and flexible, not good at all.
Thanks Jim!

These are incredible pieces of engineering. The motor/drive system is very unique. They are the usual high quality vacuum bagged fiberglass and super quality hardware from TENSHOCK.
They come Ready to Run, including a 2.4gHz radio. You just need to add your own battery. They are 27" long and SELF RIGHTING! I don't know which colors we will receive yet. I will post here again when they arrive.

I do have one in stock and it looks like it is sold. Just waiting for payment.
Sorry folks.

Best of Luck to you! I am personally sad to see your desire to sell your business, but i understand a man has got to do what he has to do.Quote:

Thanks!

I haven't decided yet. Still hoping someone will step up and buy the business.Quote:

I'm interested in the business as well send me a pm over everything if you will please
Not much room at all. I have about 4 of the 5 drawer plastic cabinets that contain all the parts. The cabinets will be available with the sale. Each boat is in a heavy shipping box 18"x9"x4"Quote:

Well it looks like one of the members on here was just blowing smoke up my butt. After conducting a thorough inventory and telling him the amount, he disappeared. He had asked for the purchase price, etc for inventory only. No website, etc. I gave it to him and haven't heard a word since. I wish he would at least be big enough to tell me he was no longer interested. It's been a couple of weeks so we're right back where we started.
If anyone is SERIOUS, please step forward.
Sorry you feel this way Jim....
You advertise to sell but you don't want to do the work to give a purchase price... First of all I NEVER asked YOU to do a full inventory. What I did state was I wanted to understand if this was a 5K or 10K investment. I was trying to understand what you were ACTUALLY selling and the answer to that is nothing more than your inventory. Life moves fast sometimes and this boat stuff take second fiddle occasionally.
At this point I don't see the value in purchasing from you as the logistics of getting the product from FL to MI doesn't make sense. As we discussed in PM you don't have any exclusivity agreement with TenShock any how...
Lastly... You haven't reached out to me directly. Bashing me indirectly on a public forum is bad form.
You said you were interested in just the inventory and wanted to know how much, 5k or 10k purchase. I did the inventory so I could answer your questions. I didn't name you in any bashing. After I contacted you and gave you the $$ amount you never replied. How is that reaching out? I gave you an offer with me paying for the shipping.
You just outed yourself by posting here rather than in the PM's like we had been talking in.
Sometime soon I will be blasting the remaining boats out at our cost. Watch here for more news. It will likely be sometime in mid october. Prior to that I'm going to give it one last shot at selling all the inventory. boats, parts, motors, esc's, etc. ALL for $5800 shipped.
