    Just as a hobby, so he can't make hundreds of them at once.
    Available as from September.
    Costs : bare hull : somewhere between 100 and 120 euro's.
    That is sweet!

      And no further info on the German cat hull.

        Other than the German one, they're all made by a company in Guangzhou China.

          yeah, that is why I am surprised we have not seen it released yet. already an established network for selling them. Kinda odd.

          added(yes, the smaller china cat. Listed at 650mm long, video looks nice. anyone knows where they are available?)

                I hear that Hobby shops are stocking HK parts, adding some $$ on and slapping on a sticker.

                  I like the video if you watch right at the 3:36 mark you can see they flipped the boat and it is upside down
                  I wonder if the scotch tape kept it dry ha ha

                    If is that what it takes to keep the doors open, I would do it as well... unfortunately it's the nature of the beast

                      $400 + $70 shipping from Australia
                      http://cgi.ebay.com/SAGA-650mm-ELECT...item588916270a

                      The mono is also there, about $420 I think.

                      Have seen at a web site for England, similar pricing it seems.

                      Boat looks nice, but price seems high for a 24" china boat with china hardware in it. I mean if it is top of the line stuff, that is fine, but it doesn't seem like it.

                        Venom does it! Take a seaking esc and a suppo outrunner slap venom over it and charge double the price.

                        Actually over double:
