My next crazy idea

[Steven Vaccaro]

Cool idea. What servo will you use?

[Diegoboy]

I was going to use a standard Futaba S3003, but since the servo comments, I'll have to get something like this JR Z650M

No bad comments, just noting these...

DiegoBoy, GREAT idea, pick a strong servo and attach it WELL!

Cool idea. What servo will you use?

All that talk about servos made me second guess my choice in the 3003

[Diegoboy]

Do you guys think the 3003 will do alright?

[Eyekandyboats]

3003 will not work my guess
the pressure of the power, and the vibration of the shafts will throw it off, I'd get a digital mg for that application

[txboatpilot]

The 3003 should be fine, but for $15 bucks the 475HB is more powerful... 475HB is 76oz/in at 6.0V and the 3003 is 56oz/in at 6.0V........

If you want no issue at all get a high tourqe dig..

You're not going to run the stuffing tube into the struts I presume ?
Did you press in bearings ?

I'm kind of missing the point of the adjust on the fly trim, usually I find one trim setting that works and leave it. It's not like rc boats are usually tooled around, or trimmed, at alot of various speeds.
Perhaps useful when mixed in the radio with the rudder to tighten up the ride attitude in the corners, but there are other much lighter, less complicated, ways to do that.
Might be entertaining for goofing around for the first few runs

I do however appreciate the fact that sometimes it's just fun to do things that you want to do .

[Eyekandyboats]

its the "cool" factor !

dig..

Hmmm Dig do I hear a new nick name Dig Digs...Digady.....

Yo big Digady waz up

Ok I'm finished being retarded now you guys can go back to boat talk.

No, the tubes will not run into the struts. The bearings are the stock SV strut bearings & will not be pressed in.

[NTM]

No, the tubes will not run into the struts. The bearings are the stock SV strut bearings & will not be pressed in.

On my sv the stock bushing was supported by the stuffing tube itself, without it, it would slop around. It was similar to the speedmaster strut bushing that Steven sells here.
Perhaps aquacraft made a change somewhere along the line, and used, or now uses actual lead teflon bearings
I know the struts I used on my maritimo needed to have the bushings pressed in and the thrust angle machined off of their mounting plates for use in a twin cat application.

innovation...re-inevent the wheel...the mind is a terrible thing to waste.......

i know this will work for the better. go to a sanctioned race and you will see the tunnel hulls use "remote trimming" to the drivers advantage, especially on windy days.

i say to you....great work.

Steve here at OSE will guide you as to what servos work well.
