Another note.. You'd think by now these RTR companies would catch on to a few hardware setups used by experienced model boaters. How is it they are still using inline strudders on their boats? I thought they caught on when the came out with the mystic, and went to an offset rudder over the Geicos strudder.

Otoh, the hull looks nice

at least with the inline the newbs wont loose
there shaft and prop in the lake.

No, but they can chew up a rudder blade. And makes it a PITA to remove the flex to grease it.

It is a bit of a pain to grease, but the prop nut/shaft won't allow the prop to get to the rudder in most cases.

Everyone seems to put down the centered rudder, but from my experience thus far, it's biggest negative is the greasing the cable issue. I haven't experienced much in the way of handling issue. Just have to make it a tad longer to get it below the thrust cone.

Definitely LOOKS more "scale"...

I still run the center rudder on my MG , no big deal for greasing the shaft.

I can't believe that there isn't anybody at horizon that can tell me "us" when these boats will be here. Pre ordered mine back In April thinking I was going to be the test dummy on this one! Has any body else preordered one or am I the only person ? Lol
