    g'day,
    well been thinking i'd like a new toy to play with.
    years ago i made an RC boat but i went against the manufacturers recommendations and overpowered the boat i made, causing it to zoom off and do a gnarly crash when it hit a small ripple of a wave.

    don't really feel like making one again from scratch, but wouldn't mind buying one.
    can anyone recommend where to look, or what to look out for? been scoping out ebay, they seem too cheap. i don't want to spend a fortune but don't want cheap crap. also would prefer electric, fuel is a bit messy.
    cheers
    Jay
