The concensus is that they are overpriced re-branded Chinese low to middle of the road quality.

If you search the forum over at OSE, they have an even worse opinion...

Kinda figured they were junk. It's listed locally on Craigslist as a 65mph boat. The seller wants $550 with no radio or batteries. I live close in Fl. and never heard of them or saw one at any races or get togethers.

I would go for the stage 63 bonus extreme, where the high performance 40" boat was upgraded from a .12 nitro to a high performance 550 size mabuchi, then further mega-upgraded to a brand-x gas engine, then taken to extremes and upgraded to a high performance 110,000kv brushless motor that will produce an estimated 2376mph.

Ok, ok ,I got carried away, I do get a laugh whenever I read their listings. Scary part is people are buying them.

Everything they sell can be bought from vendors such as hobby king for half or a third what they charge.
If you ask a few questions here you can find out what you actually should buy.
