1/10 Scratch Built Thunderboat (Finlay Plans)

[monojeff]

Well guys got the speedmaster mini rudder installed and got out to test some this morning.
Boat was running very well so I guess problem solved.
The rudder put a little more weight on the transom and also is now 1/4" longer then before.
No signs of spin outs or hopping!

All around was much more stable on the water.
Hopefully I can transition this into race conditions with little to no adjustments.

Well guys a lot has happened since my last post been busy racing locally with a few clubs and learned A LOT!

I will update the thread with more info this week as I have time.
Currently I am leading points in the 1/10 Vintage Class here in PDX.
I have won 1st the last 4 out of 5 races and placed 2nd the race I didn't get 1st.
Have to see if I can get some video next race and some updated pics posted.

Thanks.
I'm very happy with the boat and the way it handles there is nothing to complain about.
Amazing how much I have learned along the way and continue to each and every time out with the boat.
Not to many people could build one of the let alone make it competitive or top of the pack.

Keep up the good work on yours and you will no doubt enjoy each it!
