    Braced or unbraced stingers

    I just got my CF Daytona from Fightercat Racing and I'm starting to look around for my set up. I am doing a twin set up (not sure of the motors or anything) but I'm also not sure of the stingers I should use.

    I have found two different 3/16" stingers fron Kintec, one set unbraced and one set braced. would having a braced set up benefit the boat at all or is it all based or user preference?

    Braced stingers are harder to install but, arre stronger. It depends on how much power you plan to use and how hard you plan to run.

        Braced. It will keep them in line and kept your settings...set. will also take some on the stress off of one small area in case you crash.

            The braced TFL stingers you are looking at will not work with that hull without heavy modification. The other "non-braced" ones will work, however they will flex and bend out of parallel at times. MTC makes a stinger for this hull.


            Take a look at this build.
