yes sir!
I was going to get it but I think an Aeromarine will fill the bill for me becasue of a wider hull ;)

RE: Genesis Offshore Brushless RC Twin Hull (1045mm) from HK
 

It's not in your hands yet John.... I'm getting second thoughts about selling this hull seeing it do 75mph stable in choppy & wind....

The Ekos hull only I have will not do that speed, the EKOS is not as heavy of a layup either....

John, you may not get this hull today @ 4:30....:(

RE: Genesis Offshore Brushless RC Twin Hull (1045mm) from HK
 

We had a deal... :(:(:(

RE: Genesis Offshore Brushless RC Twin Hull (1045mm) from HK
 

Yeah, guilt will work....

I'll bring it Moanday you little....

You're getting a hell of a deal you know...

You have to let me drive it once at least, so I know what I'm giving up.

Grrrr, why did I post it for sale....

I wanna see a picture of your new 8xl's, lol....

RE: Genesis Offshore Brushless RC Twin Hull (1045mm) from HK

I have not been able to get on OSE for the last couple days

RE: Genesis Offshore Brushless RC Twin Hull (1045mm) from HK
 

So, now that i have had the boat for over a month I thought I would just update my review. . .<div></div><div>The HK Genesis is crap!</div><div></div><div>It ran almost two full batteries. And that was it. The hardware is crap, the speed controller is crap, the flex shaft setup is dumb, and the motor is crap. I guess the hull is ok, I only had a total of about 13 minutes running to judge it's performance.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Just to recap. . .</div><div>Out of the box, all the hardware (hex screws) where striped out. Crap</div><div>First run lasted about 5 minutes and the ESC just stopped, no smoke no heat. Crap</div><div>Second run out with new Turnigy 180A ESC was ok, boat ran nice for about 8 minutes.</div><div>Third run lasted about 2 minutes, changed the prop to "upgraded" turnigy prop, the prop shattered and set screw stripped out. Crap strikes again.</div><div>Replaced the set screw and tested the motor with storage charged lipos and the motor cratered. Magnet split into about 4 pices. Crap.</div><div></div><div>I will not be buying any more RTB boats from HK. (RTB = Ready to Break)</div><div></div><div>Maybe in another 5 years I might have some money to make this work. . . not likely though. I'll just save up for a Traxxas Titan and/or a WHH Magnum 57.</div>

Hey NobodyFamous don' t get nervous http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/js/f...n/punching.gif

I' m agree with you all RTR models are ... crap. That' s why 95% of us build they own boats. Hardware isn' t bad if it' s correctly mounted. Anyway the hull is amazing

RE: Genesis Offshore Brushless RC Twin Hull (1045mm) from HK
 

"...all ready to run models are crap...."

Theres a statement based on ignorance.......

RE: Genesis Offshore Brushless RC Twin Hull (1045mm) from HK
 

That video of this boat was the coolest thing I've ever seen. I just converted my boat to electric! I can't wait!

Raf

RE: Genesis Offshore Brushless RC Twin Hull (1045mm) from HK
 

Agreed, I am saving up for a proper ready to run, from Traxxas or WHH.

RE: Genesis Offshore Brushless RC Twin Hull (1045mm) from HK
 

WHH, good stuff man! ;)

RE: Genesis Offshore Brushless RC Twin Hull (1045mm) from HK
 

Do you want to sell your Genesis? I am interested for the right price.

RE: Genesis Offshore Brushless RC Twin Hull (1045mm) from HK
 

No I won't be selling the hull, it's the only good part.  What is the diameter of the stock motor? I want to get another one that will fit the water jacket. (to put in a different boat)

RE: Genesis Offshore Brushless RC Twin Hull (1045mm) from HK
 

For 4S or 6S batteries?

RE: Genesis Offshore Brushless RC Twin Hull (1045mm) from HK
 

Ok, so I am trying to find out what it is going to cost me to get this thing going (again)  I want to put an order in with OSE.<div>
</div><div>I am guessing the motor (stock) was 36mm dia. so I am going with this Feigao 540 7XL (2382Kv)</div><div>
</div><div>I wrecked the stock coupler, what one should I get that will fit the stock flex drive?</div><div>OR</div><div>what should I upgrade too? (from OSE)</div>

RE: Genesis Offshore Brushless RC Twin Hull (1045mm) from HK
 

Hi Guys,After reading all your comments of GENESIS ,wanderful !,I will translate them then send to the factory ,let them to do something.

RE: Genesis Offshore Brushless RC Twin Hull (1045mm) from HK
 

It would be a great help if the hobby manufacturers would actually use quality screws.

Also it would be awesome if we could get the Genesis without the decals.

Im going to be putting a Leopard 4074 2000 kV in mine at first. Then going to a Castle 1717 beast :)

RE: Genesis Offshore Brushless RC Twin Hull (1045mm) from HK
 

well ,thanks a lot for your suggestion ,will list your oppion to the factory . but if you want to buy a new one ,go on keeping in touch with OFFSHORE or any other shop you bought.

RE: Genesis Offshore Brushless RC Twin Hull (1045mm) from HK
 

Hi.

Just finished my Genesis from HCity and thought I would share some pics for referance sake.

I do have some questions for you pros out there........

I'm running 4s packs (3700Mah pair) and a set of 5s (5000Mah pair) can anyone recommend some props for these setups ??

And what is the CG and rudder deflection for this Monster !

Thanks
