    Whats a felt and i will try having my gpa doing it for me. Only problem now is this boat is a lot bigger to carry around.

      You know a sharpie,felt tipped marker.A fine one preferred. Once the rod is free from the horn you can mark where you want the bend by putting the servo horn to neutral(strait up) and holding the rudder straight and placing the rod against the horn and marking where the bend will be.

          Is that clear so that you can come back to it then?

            Yes. I think i can do it. And i also have another thing to go on the servo horn and the rod goes through and tighten from me trying on my other boat. So ya. Hah so.. free upgrade, like on crawlers, you can change where your shocks are and cut the foams and stuff and change the truck totally for the better so.. anything like that for boats?

              There is lots of things,mostly little,but combined make a boat go from good to outstanding.

              What'd you think of my trail truck?

                  Cleaning up wiring for one.Making sure your wires are not too long and you have adequete connectors and stuff like that.
                  Sharpening your rudder,balancing your prop and sharpening it.I got a good slice from changing my props this past weekend.
                  Blueprinting the ride surfaces.

                  See none of that costs much but all of it together will make for a better faster boat next to the same exact boat that doesn't have it done.

                    I can attest to getting your rudder dialed in!

                            So what kind of crawler is this?

                              also, the prop is a grimracer 42*55 i think. the second numbers are kinda distorted. this sound correct?
