    Possibly trading off my whole fleet

    Well everybody, it looks like I may have to trade off or sell my whole fleet.

    Between the epa and fish & game, rc boating has been kiboshed almost everywhere around here. The local boating hole is off limits to most boats too, kayaks, dory's, rowboats, rafts and especially nitro's too.

    It really sucks to have a boat go dead in the water, and not have any options becides a fishing pole when a retrieval boat won't cut it. Were tired of losing boats, that gets expensive !!!.

    Looks like I'll have to sell my fleet, trade for cars and trucks or a partial trade $ deal ??.

    I would be interested in a nice e-revo, e-maxx, savage, xtm, sport werks, or traxxas summit. What else you got ???.

    What I have available is

    1. Aquacraft UL-1 Superior w/ new turnigy marine esc & 2030kv needs flex and collett
    2. Pro Boat Miss Budweiser, ready for conversion, but still have all nitro accessories to make it go.
    3. Pro Boat retrieval duck, like new never ran in original box w/ paperwork.
    4. 88' 89' Parma Ski Tiger, prather 220, 3/16" shaft, marine specialties hardware. May let this go too- ???

    If i get my villain back, I may include that as well.
    The rescue duck has spektrum tx w/ mr 3000 rx, also have tactic ttx-240 w/ 3 receivers
    Have super vee 1800kv with aquacraft 45 amp esc, for the Miss Bud
    Buy them, make me a $/trade offer and thanks !!!

      Are you willing to sell the AQ 1800 motor by itself ? If so, can you describe/picture it and give details ?

      Thanks,

        I'll call dibs on the Miss Bud pending a few things,some interior pics,a few days for paypal to process and.... Are you sure you want to get out of the boats?There has to be some option for ya in the area.I know I have these issues as well but a good day out is sooo great.
        That Miss Bud is like the Elam?

          That's a shame that it's so difficult for you to run................. maybe look into some options before selling everything........

            Hi guys and thanks, yah Wake' it kinda sucks, But I got some good news though, I got the Villain back !!!. We got a kayak and ran out and grabbed it early this morning, regardless of the rules !!!. Personally I am amazed she didn't sink overnight.

            I really don't want to get totally out of it myself, but I need to explore some options for trading 1 or more for other vehicles to keep the better half happy. This is the swcond time I've had to borrow my Pastor and his kiyak, he he he he he. I may have to look into getting a lil inflateable river raft for things like this ?, even if I am breaking the rules.

            Heya Slash' as far as the bud is concerned its in great shape, I pulled the motor, tank and motor mounts out of it, to prep for my conversion thread.
            I also have the thread here right after motor mount removal

            http://forums.offshoreelectrics.com/...advice-Needed-!!!

            I was hoping to see a few trade offers possibly, before I start selling first, if that's ok ?

              That's OK ; in no rush. If it comes down to it, AND you end up with an XTM, I have a new tire for an XTM rail (don't ask ! )

                Ul1

                Hey Ill trade you a LN Brushless 1:16 erevo for your UL1. Month or so old. Sits on the shelf. $270 is what I paid for it. Ill be taking a little loss but ive been wanting a UL1 for a while.

                - Matt

                * can you provide the shape of that UL1 please. I looked at the pics a bit more. Looks like its been in a storage box full of crayons, lol. Any stress cracks, things needing glue, touch ups, etc.
                If I trade you your pretty much getting a brand new truck. Ive literally only run it in the apartment parking lot, and once at the indoor carpet track at the LHS. Id like to know that if I did trade off Id be getting something nice in return or to know what work would be involved to get something back to par. Not really worried about the decals, Ill end up pulling them off.
                No disrespect by no means.

                    You're looking for electric wheels then eh.I'll take a look around my local forum and see what is around.Its pretty much all cars.I don't really have any to spare,not that I don't have a few.They just all have a purpose.
                    And just let me know about the bud.Oh,and is it the size of the Elam or bigger.I do have a 1717 kickin.

                      No problem matt, I am not interested in 16th scale really, kinda fun but pointless. You can hardly give them away any more around here.
                      As far as the ul-1 goes, its immaculate, just got a new motor and esc for it w/ 5.5 bullets on it. Never seen the water yet. the collett twisted in half and I had to cut the flex, So I need to buy a new 3 piece collett and flex for it.

                      the 3 rx's are in the villain, ul-1 and the Parma for now. If I don't get any interesting trade offers, I may just keep these for now.
                      if I end up selling, sirislash has 1 dib already. Thanks

                        Heya guys

                        Well it looks like I am keeping my fleet for a while, I really don't want to get outta boatin' anyway.
                        I just got a smokin deal on an inflatable river type boat, for easy transport. The time to buy them is now, that's for sure.

                        Hey karfrick, I may let you have the tactic and 3 rx's for what I got them for here. I'll let you know
                        and Slash', depending on how things go in the next few days, I may do a deal with you on the hydro, i'll let you know.

                        If someone don't like me paddling out to get a stranded boat, I really don't care. As long as its a quick in and out, and not a pleasure cruise, I don't see what I am hurting, they can just learn to be understanding or ignore it.

                          Glad to see you figure out a solution. Having to bail out of this hobby is something nobody should have to endure!

                            I hear ya about the paddling.I have a couple of lakes within 10 mins of me here but a few people are trying to catch the "big one" and kick up such a ruckus that the mounties must get involved.So so far we've got a place that is good about 3/4 hour away.I would really like the hydro.I've been keeping an eye out for the right one for awhile now.Was thinkin rigger but I'm sport running so far so I should have something that looks good.Thanks and let me know.Shawn
