For those who couldn't be bothered to search......... here it is (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/RC-HYDROPLANE-HYDRO-BOAT-FIBERGLASS-BRUSHLESS-T-PLUS_W0QQitemZ310108291284QQcmdZViewItemQQptZRadio _Control_Vehicles?hash=item310108291284&_trksid=p3286.m63.l1177)
The original link didn't work for me.......
All in all, nice packaging and a nice looking boat for mine. Don't know about that motor/esc combo though, looks like it will be running on the limit all of the time which might shorten the lifespan, especially with the 45mm prop as an upgrade. I watched the video, seems like the dudes who were testing it were more interested in how it jumped out of the water out of the hole rather than how it handled at high speed, looked reasonably fast though, maybe a little tweaking might get you a nice craft. At the end of the day, to me it all looks like rebranded chinese stuff that you could get yourself for half the cost if you were that way inclined.
$400USD buy it now, yeah well the guys that are selling it need to make a margin (cough cough).....
