Bill quick question, I see you have the ruder that fits close to the transome what are the advantages of that over the ruders that are set back a few inches ie stock daytona ruder ?
Thanks
Jeff
Thanks

Not really sure on whether it's an advantage or not but, with the short standoff rudder it does position it so that the props are pretty much even with it. With a longer standoff your props are a couple of inches ahead of the rudder.Comment

Got the motors today thanks they look great I will put them to good use.Comment

Good to hear Jeff. I was starting to sweat it when I saw they went through the Kansas branch. My Castle HV 200 went through there a long time ago and still doesn't show being delivered today. Castle does have it though and hope to someday get it back. (This recall thing has really dragged on too long).Comment

Your build looks good, Bill. I was wondering, why use 2 servos for the pull/pull steering? Why not just use one servo?Comment

I suppose you could use just one although it would probably need to be a bit stronger than the 225's that I have in there. Weight wise the pair of 225mg are about the same as a single 645mg and a little bit stronger since they are operating in parallel. Using 2 let me leave the push rods straight instead of haviing to bend them to come back to a single servo wheel too, and that's always a good thing with control linkages.Comment

I see. Im with you on straight steering rods. I dont like bends either, but, sometimes they are needed. Good luck with your new boat.Comment

It wasn't the best of weather for anything high speed and small at Ackerman today but got brave and did some 6s saw runs anyways. No GPS to back it up but those of us there were calling it in the 70's down the front straight
I think the CC 1520 motors are more efficient than the 1717's. I counted laps in the video and made 6 full laps around the course (even if the back straight was less than wot) and still had to pull voltage down on the 4000 ma packs to get them down to storage voltage.
Everything in the boat was still very low temps as well. I went for the caps as soon as I popped the hatch and could lay my finger on them with no real discomfort. (could have held a 10 minute count with no problem).Comment

How far back did you mount your motor mounts?
Thanks jeffComment

Hard to get an exact measurement with cooling lines, servos and esc's in the way but looks real close to 6" from the sponson transom.Comment

Thanks that will get me close. How has it been running any new vido,Comment

Finally got a GPS run with it but was dissapointed with the results. Ir's been really windy and choppy at our lake lately and want to blame the bad conditions for the lower than expected speed. The GPS run is post 4 in our new club video thread. http://forums.offshoreelectrics.com/...un-day-reportsOriginally posted by Jabbo View Post
There's lots of submarine racing in the ones from last Sunday too.
