Mono Unlimited Fast RC boat?
 

Just wondering if anyone has tried the Mono Unlimited by Fastrc boat. I'm not a big fan of monos, but I have to admit this one looks pretty sick.
Heres a vid of it I found:

And a website. They also seem to have hop up kits for some Aquacraft and Proboat models: http://fastrcboat.com/services

Any reviews on this boat?

I see no prices on the 18" mono! Tried to find Victor's hobby and find alot of stuff but was vague on boats and tried cis associates.com and showed nothing. Also tried Sheldon hobbies and showed an excite boat and nothing else. BTW -victors has a attitude problem from what i read from comments by 2 of 5 people, no comment. Price for 18" mono $138.00 + 13 s & h=$151.00 I got email from John saying things were pulled from ad but will put everything in new ad. Now he mainly talks about F1 of which i'm not interested.

I contacted John at fastrcboat after having problems with my son's minimono driveline. John custom built a flexshaft and collet for the minimono that was a direct replacement with no modifications needed. It was very easy to install and the boat performs perfectly with no reliabilty issues.
After watching my son having fun with his boat I decided to get one for myself. I was so impressed with John's expertise and workmanship I decided to buy the mono unlimited with an upgraded motor and metal prop.
This boat is very quick when running a 3s lipo and is a blast to drive. The reliability is excellent and it has never failed me once. Fastrcboat stocks all replacement parts for this boat and John will answer any questions you may have.
If you are looking for a quality mono boat that is quick and reliable without breaking the bank you should definately consider the mono unlimited. Good luck

A few negative comments on a popular website about a small vendor and suddenly a "new" poster logs on with a very positive post - his first. Anyone find this suspicious? I'm not saying the new poster is a plant, but he wouldn't be the first...

RPM, your correct on beware .I too checked him out and sites on their forums said some comments that i won't mention. Now all you have to do is put a 3300kv in a beefed up minimono and a 632 Octura prop and off you go.I commented above of what i did and he came back with alot of emails in trying to sell the F-1 of whichi had no interest which made me leery of this BIRD! I'm not bashing the poster on his first post and more power to him and his son, that's great . Each has his own thoughts!
