New Surge Crusher Brushless Twin-Hull R/C Boat (730mm) Plug-n-Drive
I found this new boat on Hobbyking this morning:
http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/s...dProduct=12489
I looked it up on youtube to see if there was a video from it and it turns out that is quite a speedy boat.

I also saw that while I was scooping up a batterie charger in a 12 hour sale! I cant stand that noise of a boat proposing along, meow meow meow. just trim down or move some weight around already.

The local hobby shop here has a few of those overseas small rc boats.
Over all they look decent but too small for me.
Customers said they are fast.

Looks very good for $139, wish I had $139 to spend. Amazing, finally a hull I have not seen before, this is good and for the price its killer!!!
Could drop twin 2223 4400KV or lower ourunners in there. [8D]

You are running NIMH, not Lipo...
Do you think it would handle as well with lighter lipo in it?
It would be even faster on Lipo!

RE: New Surge Crusher Brushless Twin-Hull R/C Boat (730mm) Plug-n-Drive
I ordered myself one too today. I also bought a 120A water-cooled esc because I am planning on running the boat on 6s (3s x2) wich I already have.
I am also thinking about buying a grimracer 3 blade prop. The youtube vids are showing some Octura X440/3 and X440/2 as well.
Too bad this boat is in backorder. Are there here other peoples who have got this boat in back order?
I am curious about when they will start delivering it!!
I absolutely don;t like the ugly yellow color so I am sure about repainting the boat. The decals are not my cup of thee either.
Glad to see there is already a thread born about this Surge Crusher.
Edit:I read on another discussion forum that this boat seems to be 24" instead of 29", Is there somebody who can confirm this?

The length of 29 inches is including the rudder at the rear side of the boat. So it makes 24 inches of hull.

My Surge Crusher arrived a few days ago!! Finally. The hull looks strong and all the hardware is just fine! I removed the 50A esc and replaced it for a 120A watercooled ESC because I am going to run it on 6s (2x 3s 3300mah).
As said the ugly yellow color has to go, along with the decals.
I resprayed the boat and I choose a fluorescent color, with white striping and a black hatch.
here are the results. I also ordered a 3 bladed grim racer L40x57 prop because the plastic ones look cheap and poor quality.

The stock prop cant last, it break easily when full throttle all the time. Have anyone try using a D43 x P1.4 M5 (7075 prop)?
