    offset rudder for Genesis

    Has anyone found a good offset strudder (strut and rudder combo) that fits on the Genesis???

    I used the one peice unit from Fine Design. Worked excellent. I think that rearwheelin has one in the swap shop a few pages back.

      I have one in the works, but will be months before it materializes. It's like 3rd in line behind some other projects we're finishing.

      I get this question often though. As well as for a 3/16" .187 cable upgrade.


      If you can't find anything else, there is a V-Bracket rudder that RayR and Pete Z designed that can be mounted off to the side... and a 3/16" strut that drops in the stock mounts. Might have to drill a new mount hole in the brackets, but this will convert the stock strudder to an offset rudder and still give you the tapered rudder.

      Curious to see what else is out there...

        That's a god alternative. Got my order today BIG thanks for the extra stickers. Shirt looks great can't wait to wear it at the mini shoot out. Good looking prop won't take much to s&b. you have me thinking I need a cat with twins.
        Thanks for every thing

          After having some trouble with over loading inrunners, I talked with some industrial engineers and they simply suggested a higher pole count for more torque. So I started using the Helicoptor motors because they are designed for heavy loads and high RPM. They are self cooled by convection albeit somewhat limited by the enclosed hull, still enough to cool themselves effectively.

          I've been quite impressed with the high power to weight ratio and the sheer torque of these motors. I've over revved them, over temped them, over loaded them and have yet to hurt one. Whereas I've had inrunners come apart "chunking" magnets and frying the controllers on several occasions.

          Mudl's Twin Genesis was using twin outrunners at 90mph w/450+ sized props.

          Fun stuff!

              The HK 4030 or the FC3740 or FC3736 would get you 60mph +

              I know of a couple 3736's running in the 60s on 6s.

                  Depends on the RPM you want to run. I've had some good luck running 1770 kv or even 1970kv on 6s.

                  The 3736/1970 runs well with a 442 prop on 6s w/T180 ESC.

                  watch out for the RPM police though.

                    How are the outrunners on 4S? Are they available in a 2000 - 2200kv range?

                      Just the 3126/2200, which is a 540 sized motor (1500 watts)

                      The rest are 1900 or lower kv.
