Oh crap... hurts to be honest..
as much as I hate putting ppl down, No hobby shops in Au sell good stuff RTR at realistic prices.
But lots sell the bits if you're okay at assembly.
we're here to help direct your needs and ideas.

Danny,
I think it is reasonable to say most of us buy from overseas.
If you want to shop locally you could try Andrew at http://www.fastelectrics.com/default.asp. I have been down that road but went to buying overseas simply because it was quicker and cheaper.
If you click on the big HOME button at the top of this page it will take you to the best FE shop this side of the black stump. Steven that runs this forum also has the OSE shop. Great service, quick, all quality products and a dam fine man that is a model boater himself.
Hobby King in Hong Kong is a great place to buy lipo batteries.
The other guys will chime in here I am sure.
I hope this helps a little.

nope, i dont build economy...

I will have to give it a miss Wayne. I got the BBY rigger complete with everything (just needs a battery). Has a 1527 with Hydra 240 lv and a Spektrum receiver. I run Spektrum so it is a bind + battery and go job. It will need one of Andy's cheese slicers to push the water backwards also. I just want to tear up the lake and frighten crap out of the ducks and if it impresses a bikini girl in the process that will be a bonus. I might end up with a bonus myself if I keep thinking of bikini girls.

Wayne you should put a little advertisement on here about your batteries. I am always interested in reasonably priced quality batteries.

[millzee]

thanks for that, I was starting to think that overseas was the place to look, I have found that with my Losi truck, if I need something, it's a hell of a lot cheaper and almost just as quick to get it from the states. I'll take my search over there.

The first thought that comes to mind... "Lucky bastard"


I was going to grab that but he who thinks twice loses.

Nice score Wayne.

A guy called Boner, Bonehead, no Bonewar from Queensland has a build on here that would give you a few ideas.

The early bird catches the worm, Paddy , but the second mouse gets the cheese.! [ I read that somewhere,, brilliant !]

Have read most all bonewars' threads on the maritimo..
Ive been lurking for a twin for months, just happened across this one and scored big !
Lucky me !
Hope to see it here next couple daze..
Bone's 2x 1512@2050 on 5S, makes a 10S cat in Au rules.
Im aiming for a single 6S45/90c5000 probably 2x1415@2000

Honestly until it arrives its a lot of net surfing and keeping the paypal finger in check !

Wayne,
A little bird told me that you have been know to repair the odd esc. I have an MGM 400/500 amp esc that never even survived being programmed by its own software. I could get it done under warranty but I am pissed with MGM to say the very least. Just wondering if you would like to take a look at it for a small fee naturally

Looking is free ,....parts may be the only cost providing Tasmanian ingress not too deep.
Send unit, and whatever else you have labelled MGM ...
check PM for addy.

Either pm or send note detailing it's alleged untimely death in your hands

Make sure you are wearing gloves Wayne !! I know for a fact Paddy has wanked over that ESC many times before he tried to use it !! Got an email from a slow supplier the other day who says he is selling Entropy Lipo, Is he getting from you or ordering his own ??
Paddy the Eagle has landed but will be a few weeks till I get to interrogate it. Put the DVD on and nothing but boat *!***!***!***!** on there, have reported you to the dept of *!***!***!***!** to be investigated, gave your addy as that dirty brothel in Mulgrave St and they new exactly where I was talking about !!!

The MGM will get full immersion ultrasonic cleansing, same as the props you sent. Spit and rub polishing gained a weird new meaning when I saw those shiny blades....

How's Paddy's luck.. plugged the leads into the powerpoint to see if the fans worked.. and

I am the sole importer for Entropy , A LHS I aint, much prefer another to do the marketing... and myself to get great batteries at a discount !

Wanna laugh ?
I have a T180v2 here...Was in a boat on 10S ..... Owner brought it here for repairs.. disgusted with 'Chinese crap'.. wasnt his fault.. it fried on connect.. he was going to use 1/2 throttle so the esc would never see the full 10S ..
Can I fix ? Sure, around $100 ... ok he says...
