    Hate to tell you, but for $30 you could have got a complete RTR excluding shipping. Here's their supplier http://www.fuyuanrc.com/en/detail.asp?id=15884. You got a deal because all they did was buy this rtr they take the motors, esc and radio put g freak on it and re-sell it a a crazy price. They prob ordered your boat complete, gutted it sold you the hull only for $300 and going to sell their "stage ###" whatever motor that came from your boat for some crazy price. Sorry I'm not a g fake fan, but Im glad you like your boat. This is a MUCH better hull for half the price http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pro...p?prod=Aero-MM. But the bud paint job (not done by g freak by the way) is nice. Happy boating(please don't take my rant the wrong way.) This is JMO

      this is the one I would like to try something with..
      Order this http://www.fuyuanrc.com/en/detail.asp?id=16671 and see if you can sell G'Freak the hardware and electrics or sell it all on ebay. Might be able to bring the overall cost down pretty good if you sell all that at a decent price.

          These hulls are built under the Vantex brand.

              Tis a great running hull. Also VERY glad to hear you got hull and hrdwr for under 3 bills. Could be worth a call if thats the case. Since my hulls been patched up.. may be nice to have a shiney new one.

              Can you post some pics

                        Actually they did not take anything out, it was shipped directly from china without the running gear. The rtr for $325 straight from fuyuanrc is full of junk motors and electronics that I would have taken out. Also, buying from fuyuanrc is a pain in the ass to get funding to them. I did my research before I bought from those Gfreak guys. The hull and drive hardware on this boat is very good and the paintjob is awesome. At the end of the day, I am very happy with my purchase and feel that I got a good deal on the hull. I got all the running gear from here and a couple other sites.

                            Are you ever gonna put some pics of it up? This is by far the best looking paint scheme on these boats!
