Another new hull from HK??

[Brushless55]

A german guy makes them himself.
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!

this cats from nodel engines was posted over two months ago. Guess I am kind of surprised this has not showed up at the china dealers yet.

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.

I found these on the bay today. The electrics especially the 2.4ghz is a relabeled Hobby Partz / Hobby King radio system. Are these cats relabeled as well? These are hulls only and do seem a little high priced?

Can you say Gfreak?

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

Well, for the first time I have seen the 24" cat for sale on ebay.

$400 + $70 shipping from Australia

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:
