      I believe that a HV set-up is the way to go for this bad kitty! I will be glued to this build for sure.

          looks like the boat is about 36" Shaun ? the weight of an HV set up would be alot of weight in that size hull. if it where me (probably will be as soon as I can get one of these) I'd shoot for 6 or 8s for that size boat. Looks like a big GEICO and they handle well.

                  Allright,All calls out! I need a pair of stingers to fit this sucker.The mounting surface is 30mm high and has an overhang of 55mm.Anybody have any ideas? I think I can get the mini "click drive"to fit but at 139 euros.I have an MTC mini powertrim on the way and it is still going to need hull mods.

                    Man, that sure is a small area to play with for a hull this size. Should one go for the single motor route instead?

                      Be alot easier.

                      These may work http://www.horracing.com/product_inf...roducts_id=507 One would have to drill them out so as to run a brass tube for a liner than a Speedmaster bushing. I just did this on my Twin Geico and got lucky drilling.This may have more "meat" on them.

                          Then layup some cf on the inside, then with your nice CF battery, esc, servo holders, this will look wicked!

                            I should have a set of those stingers here tonight Tag,I also have these here today https://www.mtc-powerboat.de/index.p...n=13&produkt=6

                            I am very tempted to go with a "scale" look rudder and in hull water pick ups.What do you think Kent/Chris?

                            BTW,Holy *^%# I can see both my work tables

                            Guess I'm ready to go,or at least get more serious.

                                Well Here is a pick of these nice little powertrims



                                But as you can see there is a problem



                                I'm going to try to buy 4mm from these little guys by moving the arm toward the ball socket/pivot point.

                                My other option here would be to cut the floor of the hull to gain room and glass it back in.Which also wouldn't be the end of the world but...
