Shawn's Shocker

Oh how long is my MG?

[srislash]

30"

I did some mods to the Shocker.Tried to open up the water lines within the rudder.FAIL!!So I found a replacement that has larger lines


It needed modification



I had to drill a new breakaway hole so I used this opportunity to move the rudder inwards on the bottom so as to suck the transom down.This is in hopes of solving my tipping over in corners. So here is todays vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfnI6cuK440

Less drag in the water.You just have to watch you don't take too much.

Too much rudder off.You usually get two rudders and cut one down till you start to lose your desired steering.Then on the second rudder blade you don't cut off quite that much,and viola,the perfect rudder.

Sounds.good.

Hey Shawn,
what are those props in the background?? ABC ...and??

[srislash]

Those are Fightercat's 5018's.The ABC's are 2016's. It went good on 5s but the caps got warm.Might be from the long battery leads.Did you get the hull yet?

Well........................YES!!!! I just picked it up at the ariport this minute. So far it just a box, but will hopefully post tonight when I unrap.
are the 5018's aluminium?? looks like they can put alot of load on any motor.....maybe get rid of them.... can I have them LOL

I think they may load the Shocker too much but remember I too have a pair of 1717's.
Well come on,OPEN IT!

I'm at work, couple more hours. LOL

Well here is the latest installment of the further adventures of the FC Shocker and it's ongoing pursuit of speed and cornering.

The last rudder trick really stepped up the cornering.
