    Besides the small x642 lol, what do you guys think Bout strapping this to the back of a cheetah hull? I have the 1527 2d 1150kv NEU in my hands now and a mount coming.... Getting ready to order hardware and this comes up.... Any thoughts?

    If not what hardware recommendations do you have?

    I like the cooling lines coming from each rider thought as I wouldn't have to add a aux pickup, and the NEU 1527 ought not care (vt lingo) about the extra drag from the extra rudder...?

    I would say unnecessary drag, unneeded. Mine turns on a dime with no spin-outs.

      I see you're running a skeg strut though.... That's probably helping the stability some over just a standard strut single rudder correct? Looks very nice btw... What motor are you running? How's it working?

        My boy has one on his Cheetah and has had it on there for a while, same duel rudder set up and his is running really well. It looks nice but not sure it's necessary. To each his own!

          I would think the skeg strut and a rudder would be almost the same as dual rudder, I've got a twin motor cheetah with regular strut and rudder, it runs like it's on rails https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWlC...4Q-xrOOtP2C-8w

            It's not a 642, it's a 462. It's also requires a prop with a 1/4" hole so smaller props would be hard to use unless you switched shafts to a step down. Still, it's a great deal.
