        I am putting the Mini hydro strut on her and having the rudders (brackets & blades) reproduced in billet aluminum plus the rudder blades will be 1/4" longer.

                Yes, but they are pricey because they are custom.

                  I would be the creator of those rudder assemlies. Give me a pm we can talk... I have considered a short production, considering the interest in this hull.... A few others have expressed interest also...

                    I would want one! I think anywhere from $25 to $45 would be worth it.

                    thanks

                        Hey guys,
                        I have decided to go with an AMMO 28-35-5100 and the Mamba 25 esc. I have also put in a R200 for my JR radio. The boat actually lost weight fromt the conversion. I have converted it to a .047 wire drive by heating up the prop shaft and pulling out the stock cable and soldering in the wire. I am running the stock steering hardware for now. But I was considering the micro blue rudder on this site.
                        Steve is that micro blue rudder available seperately?

                            Ya 25-45$ would be a nice price.. But unfortunately these are not cnc'd. each pc is hand cut on a hand cranked bridgeport. There are alot of set-ups when doing these part. I wish I could sell them for that price. A pr of rudders takes about 6 hrs of work. Due to the size of the parts smaller cutters must be used and cuts must be made slower. . I want to see a test run vid of how they perform and handle. I am sure they weight more than the plastic ones whick in turn changes the c/g. I will want feedback from Diego before I do anymore. I am sure there are changes I should make. Dave Hay Danny you run that thing yet??lol

                              Hopefully, she will only get 1 run before moving to Hawaii. She will get additional runs if there needs to be some tweaking done.
