    I know beyond a shadow of a doubt there will be NO vibration the props actually do require balancing on both of them the one blade would always point down no matter what so I put an end to that now they stay where ever you put them.

      Well Today I finished the Rudder system and polished and mounted it with pictures!!! and yes I still need to finish the paint work but I figured I had better finish hole drilling first, the control rod hole and an antenna hole, if you see a black dot on the transom that is where I am going to drill the hole for the control rod. after that is done then I will mount the servo and hook everything up.

            Oh Yea twin x430 octura props (counter rotating toward the inside.) Hand made rudder package (by me) and modifyed prop struts with 3/16" bearings using 3/16" x 1/8" stepped prop shaft, on lmy next build I am thinking of going to 1/8" flex and seeing how that works out if I can get it in right and left lay.

              we may need to look into using wire drive setups instead.

              looks good by the way!

                are you using 400 size outrunners? I used a milehigh rc 3300kv outrunner in an extended renegade and it was outrageously fast!

                      are you running water cooling? does that rudder have a pickup in it? have you thought about selling them?

                        No I am not water cooling as of yet on this one but the idea has crossed my mind, I do have a couple of water cooling plates I could use for the esc's but the outrunner motors will have to get warm, as far as selling goes were you talking about the rudder package? or the whole boat? I have considered making the rudders and selling them but the chineese sell them soo cheap there is just no compeating with that mine would have to cost lots more or it just would not be worth it to me. now if there was a lot of intrest I might tool up for them, right now I am making them all by hand and using a drill press.

                            This is a beauty Peter can't wait to see it run.
                            mine is still just sitting in a box
                            The Manx has been sitting dormant, but I think I finally have my motivation back. I hope to see it float soon.
