New Hobby King Cat (Surge Crusher)

[Karfrik]

It runs on 2 x 7.2 Nmih / 7.4 Lipo in series which = 14.4 / 14.8V so it could be possible.

Cheers

Sorry,I still doubt it!!!!!,,,,but its a good buy anyways,......Albert

I doubt a 30" cat with a 540L motor would go that fast on 7.2v...

As stated in the second video, 60+mph, I'd might as well give up on trying to get my MM to 60 and buy one of these?????

Ha, that's 60KM/h!!

A mean machine can go to 60, it's not designed to go that fast (won't run well), but it'll go 60.

Well if the boat showed on the 1st 2 videos is bone stock,this boat is a deal!!! but i need to point out that its only "implied" that its running on 2-7.2v=14.4V Nimh packs,they don`t actually show pics of the setup.Its my guess that boat is been run on 2S on those videos.Don`t get me wrong,,i do like the boat as i mentioned above!!!
About its looks,just change decals and put some paint color here and there and it will look good!!!!,.............
Electric or anyone else getting it!!!,please let us know how it performs whenever you guys get it,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Al

This thing is looking better and better!! Are any of those bids with the stock ESC? That motor looks like it can push the hull pretty well for sport running. With LiPos and a decent prop I bet it could consistantly run low to mid 40s...

If it turns like that with NiMh cells, imagine how the cat will turn with 30% less weight!

Looks pretty good with a Y537!

Looks a little slow (but that is easy to fix) and the handling looks good!
Here ya go.

Im still trying to build my order. I need a new servo, some batteries for the Surge and the Surge of course.

$50 for shipping seems like a lot when it takes the a business week to get it packaged up and another week to get to me...

Then again Im still waiting for my order I placed on 5/25.. That took them 3 days to send out...

[Rumdog]

They are very good about answering e-mails surprisingly!

[j.m.]

They usually do, my packages ship within hours if ordered on weekday and sunday evenings (excluding friday). Hong Kong is about 12 hours ahead of the US so 6 at night for us sunday evening is about 6 in the morning monday for them.

They probably just skipped over your order by mistake, i'd email them and ask what's going on. Suck up to them and I bet it'll get shipped out sooner.
