    BJ observations

    As i read everyone's comments, likes, dislikes & rebuilds I have to say I'm glad I cancelled my order!

    Right or wrong I was expecting a Cat that was going to be fast(it is) but also a great handling boat...from what alot have said it doesn't!

    I also want a boat that will run full tilt bogey & handle like its on rails! I think I would rather put my money into a build(with you guys helping out) that will do that for me!

    Just some ramblings of a crazy guy!

          The biggest issue is that steerable outdrives do not belong on fast R/C boats! This is a shame since this fact has been known for decades, why the makers did it is a mystery. Well, not really. The outdrives allow better slow speed handling and they are cheap to make and assemble. Other than using lots of turn fins on the transom - which only help a little - your best bet is to change over to traditional flex cable/separate rudder hardware. Just get a deep enough rudder or your handling will go away.
