I dig the build skills you all have on this site!

[HYDROJERRY]

at work now so cant measure it but the one with no water pickup is like 3 maybe 3 1/2'' long and the other is like 2''...the larger one is nice but i think its to big and the larger base will make it harder to mount on this small transom,,,

rudder

Is that the smallest one from HOR (67mm) or the larger on which is 87mm? (the one without pickup?) I am running the smallest one they make on my 1/16 scale hydro and it is plenty, but it looks like the bigger one in the picture.

I took the stock rudder off of my twin apparition and put the 87mm HOR rudder on in it's place. Looks much better and went to water cooling pickups in the ride pads.

From the looks, I would tend to go smaller, also due to the size of the mounting bracket.

thanks Krowbar,,its getting there,,its only like 15 1/2'' long but will be cool !!!

Sweet looking boat Hydro!!

[HYDROJERRY]

just dont like the big base and it has no water pickup...

[Rumdog]

I'd run the big one. If it ends up being too long and causes it to handle funky, you can trim it down a bit. Too long is better than too short.

i have two different rudders for this cat but dont no witch i should use,,i think the bigger one is over kill but you guys tell me!!!!sorry the pics are fuzzy..

[HYDROJERRY]

Sounds like a good motor but then i have to buy a small 2s batt,,i have two brand new 3s batts i have been trying to use in something and my 2700 Turnigy motor is brand new, intended for those batts!!!! if i didnt already buy this stuff i would be all over it man,,got everything i need to go in it just gotta get building it,,,now if you wanna trade this stuff maybe but cant buy anymore right now!!!!

[Rumdog]

I agree with you!!! Heck, I have been wanting to see one of these things go for a year now. I can not believe how that thing looks. You have done a stellar job on this one Jerry, thank you for sticking with it.
