    What to do? moded apche 24

    Well here she is ...Flex cable routed through stock rudder that's fixed in place and then added a pro boat turn rudder put a extra section of plastic behind the back of the hull wall to make the rear stronger... One thing now i am wondering if i should cut off the fin as show in the photo?...Or will this fin make it more stable in the turns?

      Did not try it yet...I am probably going to put a brushless system in her and a motor of 3,500 or like 4,100 KV and probably a 40mm CF prop and run on 6 cell packs....Don't know how fast it will go and what motor will be better for this boat.

      It looks great though now with the rudder on!

      THANKS

          The KV will be for only 2s so that's why i need more... the write up is here with what i used read through the posts.

            I would also run it first, before cutting anything off so you have an idea on how it performs.

                  yes it works ok but with the 3300KV motor it's a dog the rpm of the motor i was using the traxxas titan 12 is 26000 RPM my 3300KV is only 22000 RPM so it like a slug!
                  Think i need a 37ooKV to 4000KV maybe?
