RE: HobbyKing Tunnel Hull
Keith, I don't think you can take that post literally......
I was simply trying to imply that I thought the HK boats had good value, and that some of them were pretty well made (I am sure some are totaly crap, hence reading the reviews and doing some DD before buying....but that goes for anything you buy).
No chance those boats are as well made as the boats your referring to. Its impossible.
From Lapistola's comments, sounds like this boat is a dud and not worth the investment. I will pass based on what he has said.

Hi Lapistola 28 [sm=thumbs_up.gif] ,
Boat looks great mate , considering that you have no intention on racing at the " World Championships " ( who is ??? ) , your new tunnel should give you a basis in which to enjoy the hobby of R/C Boating which also includes working on getting it to run well which is half the fun i reckon ...
P.S - Would like to see more of your boat , inside hull etc .
All the best in R/C Boating
Brad

You would have to remove the entire outboard from the back and install the UL1 motor on a different leg because this one wouldn't handle it ...... Size wise or power wise .

RE: HobbyKing Tunnel Hull
hey there, where do i find a replacement flex shaft?
i ordered a sea worrier shaft, and length is good but not the dia.
the flex shaft tube fits inside the housing bearings, and works, but i would like to get the right flex shaft.
thx
exile.
