Hi there. I m Joe. How can I help you have some serious RC fun today? Is there a product or accessory that I can help you with?
I'm looking for an rc gas boat ready to run but I already have a radio.
Joseph C.
OK - This is our only gas boat and it includes the radio system
Ok. That's more than I was hoping to spend. I would be willing to go with a brushless system, lip,but I want something large. And preferably with everything but the radio
Joseph C.
OK - We have more choices for that then - How much are you looking to spend?
I was hoping around 600
Maybe lipo?
Joseph C.
OK - That's doable - All will come with radio though
Ok what do you have? I do prefer gas over lipo
Joseph C.
I like the voracity. Does it come with lipos? When I try to view it the page goes back to this chat
Joseph C.
LIPOs and charger are required. Requires two 2S or 3S Lipos
Reaction 11.1V 5000mAh 3S 50C LiPo Battery: Hardcase, EC5
Roger. You were a great help. As long as I have you here, I am looking for a u-can-do .60 I need the os .91 servos and receiver too. Can you get me a deal on it if I buy it and the boat? Great planes wanted 800 with Hv servos
Joseph C.
The U can do we do not have but would have the components
I had one years ago and absolutely loved the way it flew. Do you have anything that would compare? I loved how it was at slow speed
Have you ever flown one?
Joseph C.
In fuel I assume?
Yes. .60 size with a .90
I love fuel. I currently have a t-rex 700
Heli
Joseph C.
Do you have anything more 3-d?
Joseph C.
Not in that size and in fuel
Anything bigger?
I like big
Joseph C.
OK - Yes - Inverza 33 - http://www.horizonhobby.com/a...
I like the inverza. What would it cost me for it with the largest gas engine it takes, servos, receiver for a Jr radio and anything else I would need to get it in the air ?
Joseph C.
I did a quick guesstimate and with all components and plane, close to $2,000
I have a Jr 5.7 9303 radio
Joseph C.
OK - Would need servos and JR receiver then
Take a look at completion Guide tab
I can't spend quite that much right now. But I'm going to get the boat
Joseph C.
OK!! Just go over the links I sent for boat and batteries
Do you have a LIPO charger?
I have one but ill need one that would charge two of those batteries at the same time. From 12 volts and 110
Joseph C.
OK - So a dual charger then?
Yes
