Are these mufflers the same?
Are these mufflers the same? The Towermuffler is out of stock butI think the Aquacraft muffleris the same. I think both brands are hobbico companies does anyone know if there is a difference.

I see it at Tower all the time. Often they will even have two different prices. This is probably the most common muffler size Ican think of, fits a LOT of engines.

One states that it doesn't fit the Thunder Tiger .42, but the other one does. Not sure what the difference between them are, but it sounds like there is a difference.

I called Hobbico tech support they gave me a funny answer the guy said " I cant tell you there the same but there isn't really a difference."

RE: Are these mufflers the same?
Thanks Bax,Im convinced its the same muffler in a different package. I installed it(the aquacraft)on a 46FXiand with a 11x5 it went from 13200 to 14100 RPM and my Ultra Stik went to unlimited vertical climb, not bad. I havereada lot of commentshere on RCUon the praising the Tower muffler and I can see why.</p>
