First build... Cheap boat, lots of power

[masonis1]

Grab a felt.Take the servo horn off so you can get the rod free.Straighten the rod.You should be able to do that with two pair of pliers.

Whats a felt and i will try having my gpa doing it for me. Only problem now is this boat is a lot bigger to carry around.

[srislash]

You know a sharpie,felt tipped marker.A fine one preferred. Once the rod is free from the horn you can mark where you want the bend by putting the servo horn to neutral(strait up) and holding the rudder straight and placing the rod against the horn and marking where the bend will be.

Ok sounds good.

Ok sounds good.

Is that clear so that you can come back to it then?

[masonis1]

Yes. I think i can do it. And i also have another thing to go on the servo horn and the rod goes through and tighten from me trying on my other boat. So ya. Hah so.. free upgrade, like on crawlers, you can change where your shocks are and cut the foams and stuff and change the truck totally for the better so.. anything like that for boats?

There is lots of things,mostly little,but combined make a boat go from good to outstanding.

What'd you think of my trail truck?

[masonis1]

Like doing?

[srislash]

Cleaning up wiring for one.Making sure your wires are not too long and you have adequete connectors and stuff like that.
Sharpening your rudder,balancing your prop and sharpening it.I got a good slice from changing my props this past weekend.
Blueprinting the ride surfaces.

See none of that costs much but all of it together will make for a better faster boat next to the same exact boat that doesn't have it done.

I can attest to getting your rudder dialed in!

[masonis1]

How can we dial in the rudder

[masonis1]

Yes thank you Mason.I hope that works on my local site.I want to do the new boat build on there for all the land lubbers.It is mostly crawler stuff there. Here is one of mine

So what kind of crawler is this?

[masonis1]

also, the prop is a grimracer 42*55 i think. the second numbers are kinda distorted. this sound correct?
