Banana Hobby Cat same as Surge Crusher ?

[GTX]

Hey Everyone,

A local vendor to me has the same cat that Banana hobby has on their website.

Link: http://www.bananahobby.com/1705.html

The motor seems to be the same as the surge crusher, can anyone confirm its the same boat ?

Thanks

Different boat

But same crappiness (I have the Flusher).

Look at the teflon stuffing tube.... First thing to go.

Never buy something from a vendor who doesn't know what they are selling.
Don't understand what I mean? Here are quotes from the product description for the Wave Squeezer catamaran marketed on the site linked above:

"This boat is a as fast as it looks! Its durable deep-V hull and steerable drive system.... "

"The Wave Squeezer RTR features a new high-performance, water-cooled B36 x 56L Brushless motor.... Everybody who sees this boat is literally blown away by the quality of its amazing paint work and that's even before you take the lid of to reveal the monster of a motor!"

"Produces 55 ~ 80Km/h (34 - 50 mile/hr) maximum speeds of a true racing boat....Approx 20 minutes run time for each charge."

"Special motor servo delivers a reliable, smooth, nonstepped driving force."

I found a link to the upgraded stuffing tubes for bananahobby. They come in cool colors too!! http://cgi.ebay.com/Party-Straw-Spoo...s_Occasions_ET

Don't get me wrong, I like my Surge 'Party Straw' Flusher. :D

It was clocked at 37mph with a brass stuffing tube instead of the stock party straw and 4000mah Zippy LIPO 30C. Not bad for $140+ shipping!

I'm just funnin' I like the hull. It has a different look than most cats.

I don't know about the "wave-sneezer" decals!
