RE: Unofficial
they are both owned by the same company, so they should be the exact same. just add a boat to your shopping cart on each and check shipping costs from there and pick the cheaper one

Wrangle boy, I've tried the 5 min epoxy, no good, chips when hit. Did that with some automotive stuff too, same problem. You want something that holds yet has a bit of flex due to the hits you will implement on the boat. Go with goop, best thing is, it can be pulled out of boat if you ever pull drive out etc. No damage, but still need to do carefully and slowly. The epoxy stuff does not want to come out, u need to grind with dremel for some. If u ever pull out goop, grab needle nose, pinch and bit in the pliers and just rotate the pliers and it will come up off the plastic(or glass).

Holy Sticks batman, Z-hobby is charging 75.00 to ship a 30.00 product to Canada! [:@] Raidentech is charging 30 to ship, which is reasonable I guess?? Someone said they're the same company? And they're both in Cali?

Well I took one out today and stock they are a bit anemic to say the least. It was able to play in the waves though, some tweeking and it will be a ton of fun!
A few pics from today. sorry for the bad quality but the sun had already set
What bearing are you guys using to replace the bushing in this jet unit?

i regret not having driven mine as stock haha
if you want westbeach you can use some company (whatever's cheapest to ship from USA to CA) to calculate shipping to zip code 98229 (washington state) and ship it to me and i could "forward" it to you for maybe cheaper than what they want for shipping

Rockwerks,
Thanks for the offer too, maybe you can drive my NDQ over to the Island from Port Angeles. [sm=biggrin.gif] I might have to send out my DF Storm half way to meet up the little jet boat.
Cheers!

Just ordered 2. I have a creek along the yard. It ranges in depth and is about 12 feet wide. Should be able to make a neat little course. I'll have about 150 of good vision upstream and rock obstacles along the way.

Technically there is no 1/2 throttle on the stock setup. Mine was not proportional. I wouldn't be surprised if the factory has minimal (or no) QC and the folks in that video just got a bum boat.
