Who has the best price on Vortech's or a group buy???

Im wanting to get the new Vortech but Im having a hard time shelling out the cash. Anyone else know what Im talking about? The price seems to be $420 everywhere its sold. Does anyone know of a discount, cheaper store, or a group buy where I can get one of these cheaper??? Thanks

There have been several for sale in the Drygood For Sale section here on RC. I've seen quite a few for sale and I just saw one today for $375.

Sorry about that. Put it this way...if enough people show interest maybe a retailer would be willing to jump in and help sponsor a group buy for MASLAC or another local club.

No problemo,now that I think of it maybe we should just get a group buy going if we can get enough people..

Does anyone know if there is a controller that can take place of the WWD driver... Its probably cheaper to get an older version and having another controller tell it to make some waves

wider flow and smaller foot print inside your tank. No directional flow but wide enough to sweep through and cover everything infront of it path.

Ok guys, I bought two vortechs..one is brand new the MP40W and the other is the MP40 which was only used for two months. It turns out I can't use any of them because my tank is too thick.. I didn't notice until I already bought them..so, Im selling them here.

I have a few extra VorTechs for sale. $380 shipped or $365 cash pick-up in LA.

Since it's a pseudo-sale thread anyways. Please remove the post if it's inappropriate.

Thanks.
