    What was all wrong with the ones you got? I just bought the same thing and am not sure what to expect when they arrive.

    Default mini-v's

    I have purchased 12 mini-v's from that ebay place, three at a time. The last set of three, I got all three working.

    Often times it is broken U-joints and I get rid of those anyways.

    Sometimes it is the RC/ESC unit that is bad. Out of 12, I have had 3 or 4 bad. Either do not work at all, one part doesn't work, or interference makes it unusable.

    Also have had bad servo's. These are week and will strip teeth internally or stop working.

    One had a broken hull.

    You should be able to get two working boats out of it, with one for spares. If you are going brushless, you only need the hull anyways.

    Have fun, Brian
