    Either way works fine but two 4s packs make it easier.

        Does anyone know the dimensions of the MHZ small hydraulic steering rams or if they would work on the Genesis. I would like to use them but they haven't returned my email.

            the air intakes are actualy plastic window washer covers for your car i went to the autoparts store and saw them they were chrome so i painted them black,, i put a peice of CF inside to cover the hole in the front and glued in a bolt then filled them with epoxy to make them solid then after they were dry i could drill a hole threw my hatch and bolt them down,, glad you like them they only cost afew dollars so they are cheep...

              Thanks for the photos;that is one cool boat,love it.In one pic it looks like the butt is on it;s way down;to bottom.What kind of esc are you running.I have never seen ones like that.My Genesis build is coming along.I can take my time because the lakes are still frozen up here in what they call The cariboo.Way up in northern British Columbia,Canada.We traded our igloos in for something better.....HA!HA! Have a great day!

                        Not much help but I do know they aren't functional like the hpr.. meaning there's a tiller connection outside the rams that make it work. The hpr uses cables in the ram to act as a pull pull system.

                          Ok thanks. I sent an email to HOR Racing about their rudder and steering system. I have a 115mm rudder on the boat now, the HOR rudder setup is 150 mm, it's a little long but I could mill some off to get the length I need.
