Seems "G-Freak" has Freaked Out

[Rumdog]

Yeah, he already switched comments off. He did it to all his vids. It will say, comment awaiting approval. I'm sure G-Freak can still view them though.

I made a comment on one of their youtube vids. I noticed they had no gap between the drive dog and strut. I simply explained to them that there should be a gap, and why. Here was their response: @ryanrummler NO *!***!***!***!**....THAT BECAUSE IT CAME FROM CHINA AS IS...THE POINT OF THE VIDEO WAS TO LET PEOPLE KNOW THAT IF YOU DONT HAVE US SET IT UP AND MAKE IT FAST, IT WILL HAVE ISSUES. RYANTRUMMLER TRIES A SMARTASS COMMENT ON ALL OUR VIDEOS ...YOU FOUND ONE WHERE WE FORGOT TO DISABLE COMMENTS...GOOD JOB.....SINCE YOU KNOW MORE THAN US WHY DONT YOU START A BOAT COMPANY AND SHOW US UP..SINCE YOU KNOW EVERYTHING..LOL

Looks like they raised their prices on the Leopards again. I wish their was some where other than them to get the leopard 36mm motors.

There is a much better site to order the 36mm Leopards from. PM me and I will forward the site to you. Prices are great and while they are in China you get the motors fast. At least I did. I wont post here out of respect to Steve.

The sad reality is that the people at Gfreak have started a business & claim to know all, they also claim that other product on the market is inferior without knowing fact.

They have done it wrong from the start, they know little about the product they sell, they want people to believe that their modified (what you can buy at a shop) water cooling is extra special, the same thing can be said in relation to other product they sell not to mention their product knowledge is very limited (like saying that an outrunner is a inrunner).

A store in Australia sells the same mono's & cat's for $380-400 AUD RTR

Why these people did not seek the help of other "experienced" people in the field of model boats or just sold the product for what it really is without attacking others is simply beyond common sense.

So if they where to start selling product without the bull*!***!***!***!** statements, Priced the product for what it is, & had respect for other people they may just recover.

Steven, I'm with you on that - myself now being a compulsive "over-researcher" when it comes to buying anything. But consider the target demographic of these folks- their name alone spells that out. Add to that their exagerrated claims and competition-bashing and it has to get them some business-albeit from a rather unsophisticated audience. The market is flooded with ridiculous products targeting these people, from "double your mileage" engine gismos to useless health care products - [you should see , as a "Senior Citizen" the stuff that I get in the mail ]
It's a shame that this condition exists, but it happens and is a sad reality. I just hope that these new boaters eventually find their way to your door and learn, perhaps the hard way, to do more of the research that you speak of. The path to enlightenment is sometimes a costly one, as I myself found out over the years!

I get where you are coming from believe me. I get emails from those people that bought those ndq eBay boats for $50 that are supposed to go 30mph, but in reality only go about 10mph. They want to make them go faster. I do feel a bit bad for them.

[properchopper]

Ok, I'll have another go at it.

What is the web? An source for users to find information.
How many people with half a brain just go and find one site and drop $500 on something?
If someone does drop $500 on something with one click and without looking at other options there are two scenarios that quickly come to mind, either they can well afford to be a "impulsive" shopper or just plain naive.

I guess I'm just not as compassionate as you guys for someone that doesn't do their research on something that cost so much money.

But the point is we live in a country were he could start and run the business in any way he so pleases.

Another example.
My driveway is being paved at this very moment. One guy wanted $12,000 to do the job. I spoke to a friend who just had his done and was very happy with the results and work. His guy is doing his job for $3,500.

100%

This happens not only in a hobby but in everyday life. From things like a convenient store to a gas station and so on. I don't like their attitude more than their bad business etiquette.
