Whoa! some serious machinery there, freakin thick...................... the width is much more appropriate

I'm gonna look up your hull to check the width, just curious......

I used them with my MHZ LizardXtreme, love them. I think for looks you can't go wrong, I would not use them if I am racing. I think it has more drag.

I used these on my Sniper. I really like these tabs.

someone help me pick a rudder.
i would like the dual water pickups, but are they too big?
basically theres the speed master 40

the 1"
http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pro...d=ros-spdr-013
then the dual rudders, which come both tapered and straight blade
http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pro...=ros-spdr-011a

my question, do i want straight or tapered?
and since it appears the dual pickups rudders are inly 1/4' wider and .25 longer, will it rally make a difference?
thanks

I always get one longer than I think i may need, easy to cut 'em down...........cant add to them. I like running longer rudders anyways, keeps it on a tight line and corners better imo

[flraptor07]

I use the Speedmaster dual pickup one on a lot of my builds and usually end up cutting it to length depending on what I put it on. You can get the center mount bracket for it too.

If it were my boat I would get this:

but why tapered over straight? I'm not sure what difference it makes...

also, 4' or 5' of setback?
given I'm planning a speed master stinger, which measures 3.25, i figure the prop will add an extra inch. will lining the rudders front edge up with the prop be better than having the rudders leading edge behind the prop?

[Make-a-Wake]

I think if you are going longer like the one i linked, that tapered takes a bit of drag away........may be wrong. I like my rudders set back farther than most folks, but many, many fast, solid boats have run them with the trailing edge of the rudder even with the prop hub.

[flraptor07]

You want the leading edge of the rudder ahead of the prop usually try to go with trailing edge of rudder even with leading edge of prop, because you want the leading edge of the rudder in clean water. And with the rudder offset to the right side when you turn right on a oval race course it deflects the rudder wash away from the prop. This way the prop stays in clean water too.

The hull should be here finally tomorrow. Cripes USPS takes 4 days to deliver a hull 20 miles away. Unreal...

So, I'm looking at the castle and nue motors ...
As far a nue goes... Is a 1521 not enough?
The 1527 would require what esc? Are the sf esc ok?
Which one would handle the 1527?
Same goes for the castle 1717 or x01 What esc would be good?
Thanks...,

The Neu 1521 is plenty enough. A 1527 is complete overkill in that hull. The 1521 is a bit Larger than a 4082 Leopard and more efficient, I would put it right there with a 4092 Leo powerwise. The 1577kv would be great for 6s2p and I would get a 200a+ ESC.
