If you log on, there is a way to inquire or ask about the order I think. I had one that did not ship and I inquired about it. The next day it was sent for packaging and shipped the day after that.

EMS normally ships right away, I thought they gave priority to those.

There's 77 in stock, not sure why it hasn't shipped. Did you get EMS or the economy shipping?

I ordered one a week ago(although I see it still has not shipped.arggghh) . When I get it, I plan on hooking a datalogger to it and I will report back what it does out of the box and if it holds together...

:P I know, right!

I think we can live with a weird shape for $140. Without decals I bet it would look better. I'll definitely be getting one of these as soon as I can scrounge up a little $$ (being a college student with no job is hard).

2s car packs are so cheap you might be able to get a complete boat system for under $300 if your starting with nothing (except radio, that is). The hardcase 4ah 25c Flightmax packs I have are down to $18 each now.

We need Kv info!!!

This hull may handle better than the bj.

That would not be hard

I never really cared for that paticular shape,,,

This hull may handle better than the bj... There aren't any pics of the bottom, but the view from the transom looks very promising.

Price is $140 when you log in!!

Just a right fine size for a small pond, seems like they finally put enough power into one of their boats. The motor might need to be upgraded to an XL size, but it looks to be one of the leopard motors...

Shaft might need to be replaced, ESC's going straight to the scrap bin, but it's still a great deal at $140 for hull+hardware+motor. Apparently they give you hatch tape too!
