First build... Cheap boat, lots of power

[srislash]

Hey Sri, these smaller "toy" boats actually like less length on the stinger/strut, found that out by making them fairly long on my Syma's then having to reduce them a bit.

On that note then,Mason,you may want to repost in the W to B.And see if there is anyone else with something.This isn't an overnight sort of thing.Hehe

If he ordered the inline rudder/strut system, it should work as the strut setback looks only to be about 2"........................i didnt notice it. I was basing it off of the OSE stingers and their 3"+ lengths.

It is a cat strut though and we would have to build a standoff so the nose isn't in the transom.
It is this one that he found from another member http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pro...prod=ose-80085
The e-bay one apparently is for a 1/4 shaft.

I'm coming in kind of late, did you check out Zipp Kits hardware. Joe's Z strut works good on a mono ,I used one on my NQD high wind upgrade,also on an old Dumas mono rebuild. His rudders are also quite good. I'm not knocking OSE hardware,as I use it to

[masonis1]

I have a dremel and some tools to build stuff. If i need to im sure i can atleast try. So what should i go with? A different setup or what? I told the guy i would give him an answer today.

If you go with that strut Mason,u will have to make some sort of stand off like slash said.I would hold off on that strut alittle while to see if someone can come up with a better but affordable solution for you.

[masonis1]

Ok. I just need to know what to get so I can make a wtb

[masonis1]

I really liked that setup because it came with 3VERYthing i needed.

[masonis1]

Ok going to home depot now. Getting 400 and 600 grit sand paper and sandable primer.

Hopefully i can find or have something found for a rudder/ strut

Mtbenjamin77 has the spartan hardware for sell for 40 bucks,its on page 3 in the items for sell.I think this will work great on ur 28" hull.Check to see if he still has it

[masonis1]

Actually i think my hull is about 23 inches. Hah. Sorry. So would that work you said? I would like something with everything i need to run so i dont have to spend more money. Because now, i dont have a drive dog, flex line, strut, rudder, flex line adapters, tubing... So i dont have much. Hah

[h2o 1]

Since ur hull is 23",i wouldn't get that! Do a WTB ad for hardware for a small mono

[masonis1]

Ok... Ill take a measurement and make sure real quick and get that info to you.

[masonis1]

Its 23 1/2 inches.. what should i get?

[h2o 1]

Try to find something like this,Octura offset rudder pn#oc6str.Its in the OSE store.A little pricey for you ,but someone may have one lying around. place that ad
