Shawn, Who makes the bell crank and cable holders that you used? I'd like to put them on my VS1. Also, where did you get them?
Regards,
Bob

Bob, the clevis' were from Kintec here mid page http://www.kintecracing.com/Linkage_O3KP.html
And the servo horn is Secraft. You'll have to dig to find someone stateside whom sells their stuff(think airplane).

Any hull mods or just a straight up build?

All I did was a bit of heat sink machining. Pics are in the Sidewinder thread.

Maybe tomorrow I'll start a DF23 build and finish off some woodstuff.

Better get to bed.

Nothing special.
- 1/2" air dam across the front of the tunnel
- strut bracket mounted at the very bottom of transom
- strut run very deep

That thing looks great. That's the 34 vortex? About what prop will you use with that setup? I love my 24 and would like to do a 34 eventually

At least get the job back. I do not think it would be so difficult to remove polyurethane paint.

Thanks for the kind words. Yes, it's the DF 34". For our rough water racing I run the ABC 2015/17* prop. Really like the boat.

Swapped the goofy body pin for a push and turn lock on the Spartan lid. I also installed a custom made Dasboata hole patch too.

Still practicing on the beater before I start drilling the transom on the DF26. The strut is set too close to the keel on the Spartan and is certainly the biggest cause of the chine walk problem at higher speeds. I pulled everything out, filled the old hole with JB Weld, and drilled a new hole 5/16" up from the keel. The original location was off center, but I figure that was just poor placement and not an attempt by Traxxas to prevent torque roll. I located the new hole as close to centered as I could.

I also wanted to increase the stuffing tube size from 1/4" to 9/32" so that I could run a teflon liner with the .187" flex cable and extend it out past the transom into the strut to stop the grease mess after every run. Got it all sorted and the strut is now about 4mm higher than the original setup.

So Ryan, were there any noticeable handling problems with the off centre setup? The prop would sit deeper in the water when turning one way than the other. Just curios.
