TFL Hobbies "Popeye" Hydro: P-Sport Hydro

[capnswanny]

Hey guys, do you know where to pick up a bare hull?
I was too cheap to spring for the $100 shipping from Monica, though she was an absolute pleasure to deal with.
I ordered one from horracing, but 30 days later no hull, and no response from Johnny, not a pleasure to deal with, PAYPAL dispute pending. I hope TFL pulls their business from that one.

That said, anyone know of another US distributor?
Thanks!

Hooking to the right is not the problem, it's when you make the least little bit of left correction it tries to roll over (barrel roll). Are you talking about strength or weight? it's a Savox SW0231MG 208oz. torque and it weighs 66g.

The 208oz. torque is good. I usually limit the steering more on the left until it stop hooking at speeds under 50/55 MPH. For Sports that Hotter than that, You must slow down a little first. Or before you turn to the left.

Unfortunatly in this case if you wanna play you gotta pay....... Looks like you're gonna have to get it direct from TFL.............

[capnswanny]

Understood, just thought maybe you TFL sponsored guys might know how a guy could buy a hull without paying $100 shipping....my bad...

LoOKoks like no-one knows...hence, no replies.

Very wise....thanks.

I've bought three boats from TFL and there's no deals on the shipping, but if it's any consolation they have the best service of any overseas company I've ever dealt with and Monica is the best!

[capnswanny]

Totally agree with you....Monica is awesome!
Sorry for the cheeky sarcasm....spent the day in the rain hanging Christmas lights...

Happy Holidays!

I also ordered from HOR Racing on 27 October but no boat yet and likewise filed a dispute with Paypal. Maybe Popeye in now in short supply! I feel TFL $100 shipping is rather high to Australia. Perhaps I will order again from Kintec when he gets more in. In the meantime I have a ML Boatworks GP400V2 to build.

Yea Monica is really awesome, but when shipping costs more than the hull itself, I just can't pull a trigger on that. My shipping quote was $120 something to FL...

That deffinetly looks badass, and I'd love to have one. But I want to get my FG Popeye running way better before I pull the trigger on a CF version!
