    Did they really just take a shot at a UL-1 at a little past 8ms . A while back I commented on one of their vids and told them my ul would smoke their boat the told me their boats will smoke RTR's all day. Some people kids need smacked

    You know they could actually make money if they didn't come off so cocky and arrogant, and actually knew what they where doing. I think they need mental

    What about this?
    maybe they posted that stupid rant on there lame site because
    1) people have caught on to them
    2) they are dumb
    3) the things they sell really are not that great and people want there money back due to smoked esc's and motors and radios that suck.. so now they are passing things off as RTR (the rant) as to take there resposibility of customer service out of there pocket books..............

    Pathetic.

    So the game is to price gouge until caught/called out then lower prices?

    In my book after seeing what they are doing and the rant I would never buy from them. Simply based off the way they conduct "business".

    It seems they got smart and now know that people are on to them. Look at the Seaking 180 they sell. The other day it was listed as a 200 amp esc, now it's changed to a 180 which it is, the stickers on it still say 200 amp though. Amazed, you know if they came here and settled the score and quit gouging for the "testing" and just sold stuff straight up like they are now all this could have been avoided. Us boaters and most people on this site are a pretty close group and try to look out for each other with scammers and fakes. Maybe if the also didn't rant and cry this all could have been put to past, and maybe some people from here would have at least entertained the idea of ordering from them. I know they have some hull I like, but due to their history and rant's I rather just avoid them all together. JMHO of course.

    Yea price is still WAY to high. I think the extra money from all the price gouging goes to Bunny, she may be "pay 2 play"

    Whoa interesting. They have taken shots at AQ now taking shots at Castle. I wonder what their "Extensive" testing consist of?!? I find it funny that running a esc at 20 amps continous over the MANUFACTOR rated specs is considered "SAFE FOR ME" I will thank you later for blowing my esc up for over-rating a esc that the designer posted at 180 amps cont... I wonder if their stickers are good for 20amp cont... ?

    PS. Thank you G-Freak for pressing 2 buttons on the programming box to program my esc and charging me $100 for it. I rather just buy the $4.99 box myself. Also if I am just buying it from you and you don't know what set-up I am running, how are you programming it to my specs?

    That can of energy drink will come in handy when you are up all night fixing all their F-up's on the boat you buy from them.

    danaaaaaa.... Are you our resident G-Freak? Did it break, or did it have a small problem with a teflon liner? Also, since it happened, look at all the forum support he has recieved.

    They charge over inflated prices......
    They rant and rave about their "experience"........ (which I assume is the ability to put labels on things)
    They repackage everything and call it "custom"........
    They use shiny objects in their advertising (Bunny,,,OK, ,,,,,I'll give them that one).............
    They flame forums in an effort to make themselves appear smarter....
    They run boats up on shore in their vids........(I should try that to gain from their "experience")
    They can't even seem to take themselves seriously if you listen to some of their commentary on their vids....

    Here's the difference, Miss Geico, Stilleto, SV27, UL-1 all developed by respected and successful racers from the ground up. Nothing is 100% perfect, but I bet they get the customer service they need. If I make 100 boats and 1 fails, I still have a 99% success rate. I have watched their videos and seen terrible driving, one of them refered to a series circuit as a "serial" circuit stated to use 6mm plugs because it "lower resistence or whatever it's called". As I buyer I want to buy something from someone who knows what their doing and more importantly why their doing it. In the video on the homepage I want to buy a boat not a bb gun, so why are showing it to me? Their is also respect in this sport do you think Grim or Darin ever bad mouth each other, I never heard them do that. They respect each other even though they work for competing companies. So why does G-Freak take shots at leading compaines? They have bad mouthed AQ & castle, and for what? You earn respect by giving respect, and they have given none. JMO
