Hi Guys. Built this model about 20 years ago. Had problems with flexible drive shaft also tight turns soon stopped any lift on the foils. I would think this kit is now quite rare.

Kit made by German company Hegi many years ago. I built one great on a straight run not very good when a turn was carried out.

The Traxxas 775 brushed motor and the EVX-2 is installed and programmed. I'm going to make another test run before I re-hook up the LED's because I don't want to wait for another rx controlled on/off switch from hong kong.
