Give AMERANG a call or send them an e-mail, they are the official importers for Thunder Tiger, they should know.

Bernard Holder has just done a review of the Thunder Cat racing boat (which I assume you're talking about).   It should be in Marine Modeller in the near future.  It looks very nice and although 'ready to run' needs running in and setting up correctly.  Once set up - it goes like stink!!  It needs quite flat water as it tends to lift easily in a chop, but should prove an 'interesting' introduction to the world of high speed model boats.

No! It's not that one, It's a hight performance racing yacht. I did see a small picture of one some time back in the front pages of a boat mag.

Arr - thanks for altering the title  O0 ::)
For £180 (plus radio) it looks a nice piece of kit.

Sorry about the title :D

I used deal with Amerang and Thunder Tiger products a while back, never had any problems with build quality. Thunder Tiger spares are very affordable too, I'm sure this boat will be no different. Pre-painted hull, at only £180.00 it's just what i need for a Christmas present ;)
