    New HK Deep Vee's?

    I've noticed two new Deep Vee's at HK.





    Seems like a good deal and might be a fun and reliable boat.





    This one is expensive. Worth it? Think it might be the snake poison prototype?
    Looks like a good sized brushless; 4075 and might just be ready to rock, right out of the box.

    I don't have a brushless V hull, am considering one of the two above. Any feedback?

      I wonder if that "Osprey" is a knock off of the new Traxxas boat. The motor looks like a CC/Neu knock off... So perhaps...

      I'm really curious, but not $400 curious.

        Me too, I was looking at that one but at $399 plus another $80 postage to the uk it was just to much. Maybe when I have some more pennys. It is a big boat though.

              they both good looking boats. only hope the qualety is any good.
              realy sucks for all those first time buyers who thinks everything is good to go only to discover that the ESC burns up 10 feet from shore

                        All I know, is that is one sweet looking mono. And big. Now if the esc's they put in these boats were a little more stout, they'd hit the nail on the head. HK is coming out with more and more boats and the American companies are stringing us along for months.

                          I'm really thinking about it. Think this hull would take a big 152x?

                            Looks like it comes with a 1515 2.5D knockoff, wonder how well this would do in such a large hull?

                              We don't really know if that lenght is hull length or overall either. Could be a 33" boat. I'd guess that the motor in it, being that size will be plenty. The quality is up in the air though. Could be coming from the same place as the Castle motors.
