Turn fins installed (pics)

Or, you can cut out the small wood section holding the ESC and run the batts along the sides of the motor. Here is my setup....much more stable now.

I did the same and it helped a TON. Running a x642 prop also>

How is yours running with two batteries. I am using one 4s and its tail heavy. Ive lowered the strut angle but I still have issues with coming out of the water. You?[/QUOTE]

I've been running both 2 pack and single pack config. never have had a problem with balance, when I run 2 packs, it's perfect. When I run a single 4s, I have to move it to where the middle of the 2 packs sit, always perfect in the balance.
What 4s pack are you running to have it tail heavy?? I have a 4200 4s 45c Hyperion.

How many mm deep are those turn fins? They look perfect size for that hull...

[forescott]

They are approx 57mm top to bottom.

My problem is I run along a beach shore with rolling waves and generally run along the waves, the hull comes down and it it appears the torque of the drive system (1.4x 32 x3 ) makes it unstable for a second or so sometimes causing it to roll over. Do you more experienced operators feel the these fins would help my torque situation and keep it more stable. Currently no issues steering, flush trim taps neutral on thrust angle.
BTW--2000kv 2x2s
Thanks in advance

On mine, The turn fins just helped the steering. It does not spin out as easy in a turn. They added drag also, so it required a bit more power (5S) to keep it in the 55-60 mph range. It still has tons of torq roll and gets airborn and flips like crazy at those speeds. Almost lost it several times. It may be retired now. Still looks swet on the shelf.

I doubt turn fins will help much in that case, if it's rolling because of waves you don't have much you can do to stop it.
