Thanks for the heads up.
Hey John,
Do you know anything about buggies like this one ? http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...dproduct=23846

[Basstronics]

Now I know where they use those motor mount, servo mount & t-bar setups on like Kintec is selling.

Looks nice, I just dont like the overhang in the back. Wonder what the price will be?

This type of motor mount has been used by the manufacturer TFL Hobby for a while now, i have a Genesis cat & 26" Prince/Rocket all made by TFL which has this type mount fitted. Much better mount as it stiffens the hull bottom.

Nope, had 1 buggy for a few months...kept coming back dirty and a PITA to clean all the time..no more cars for me.....now back to the new mono.....

[TristanJones]

looks like a winner to me.

[martin]

It is a very nice looking boat + very easy to seal hatch, no dought the prices will be competative from HK.

[Basstronics]

Ya but HK shipping fees lately are stupid insane. Ive stopped dealing with them all together for now. Hopefully they will get their shipping prices in check...

[iamandrew]

Wheres the boat? i cannot find it

[Basstronics]

Says in the video its not listed yet but coming soon...

[ray schrauwen]

35 Inches long puts it out of "P" mono classes. Nice boat though...

[Doby]

Could be a Q hydro...stepped hull and all. Pretty sure stepped hulls are only allowed in offshore classes...

[Rumdog]

Prob more like 31" minus the overhang. Could be a good sport boat. Looks sexy as hell!

[martin]

This boat is made by TFL Hobby, same maker of the Genesis cat. They have this boat on their website with same paint job except the name on the side is Lucky Oct, it is listed at 870mm or 34.25".

[ray schrauwen]

Similar to this http://www.nitrorcx.com/99b-10022-snap-720-ep-kit.html

[Doby]

thats shorter...

[bozo586]

doby-yes it is-i have one of these that runs about 25mph-from nitrorcx --nice looking hull but way to slow. thinking of a conversion to aq--motor/ hardware!

[iridebikes247]

Here is one running I believe? Looks like the same hull

And here for those looking for more pics

I have the hull, no hardware, from HK. It's made by TFL and the quality is similar to the Pursuit.

It's 34 1/4" as mentioned on the TFL website.

I'll try to post a picture later this week.

[iamandrew]

its kinda odd, because isnt the persuit listed as a 32 in hull?

http://shop.rcboatbitz.com.au/index....839ea6a6e33f8b

this is also listed on tfls site, looks like there must be 2 version of the hull, one bigger than the other

[iamandrew]

I also wish that RCBB wouldnt keep saying that all their stuff is "Custom made" by them, its a load of crap

[Heaving Earth]

Rcbb is gfreak isn't it?

[iamandrew]

Nar its not him hahahah
boat blitz i think is some guy from Adelaide, seems to sell a lot, but ive found that most is HOR racing stuff, at twice the price

[martin]

As stated the Exe is a smaller boat at 720mm, the Exe is also the same boat as the Dragon Hobby Snap 720.

[ray schrauwen]

Looks like a PB Impulse but maybe a shallower vee. 44-1/4" Well, we can trim a 1/4" off somewhere for P-class offshore. Stepped hulls are allowed in offshore... AFAIK...

[tlandauer]

I wonder how difficult it is to mount turn fins and trim tabs, the over hang is quite long. If you look carefully at the 1'10'' mark, there seems to be a bracket to the right of the rudder bracket, wonder if that is for the right ( starboard) turn fin?
If you look at the inside transom, there is a set of extra holes to the left of the rudder mounting holes?
The EXE is similar in that the over hang prevents mounting of those items. But the larger hull hopefully will alleviate the difficulties somewhat.

[Mattwarner]

I love it, if I can get one without the cheap electrics I may have to buy one as I always wanted the KOS P1

Which one, you mean the EXE? I loved that one too, but already have the Venom. I only mentioned the tabs and the fins because on my KOS P1 they really made a difference, I had the V1 and the turn fins really were necessary.

[Mattwarner]

No the OP although I like the EXE too but a little to small

This is nice ( the larger boat) as the option for motor is also more practical.
