I built one just like it and it's posted in the build threads here somewhere. Are you going to lay carbon fiber in the bottom of the hull? I would highly reccomend it as these boats are not very stiff and benefit very much from it. Im running a leopard 3674 1700kv on 6s with the stock esc out of the new blackjack which is only rated at 80 amp's but consistantly holds up to the 6s I run. I have 4 of the turnigy nano 3s 65c 3000mah that I run two sets in series which gives me 6s and fits nicely in the boat, good luck with your build, and if you need any pics of mine feel free to ask.

yes i,am going to put c/f inlay and how did you mount your servo
thanks

[devo]

We used of of the standard size hitek waterproof servos and on of the machined aluminum mounts and just epoxied the mount in place when the final coat of epoxy was poured in.

Here is a pic of how we installed it

ok thanks i was gonna put it in the sunk area so the rod would go where the exhaust is and how big are the rudders on the because i got mine with no rudder

[TheShaughnessy]

Borgie, that's an ok rudder. Perfect size. Only downfall is they have a bit of play in them from my experience. The speedmaster mini rudder is much better built if you don't mind spending the extra cash. The tolerances in the speedmaster make it a much tighter rudder with little to no slop.

[borgie]

i run this rudder on my 28'' mono and there is only 1mm of
play and does anyone know about the turnigy motors id the are any good

[Heaving Earth]

Oh well maybe it isn't the same rudder I got. Mine had alot of play in it.

[Heaving Earth]

Yes that's a good motor. I've had luck with them
