Your MG that started off as a hull

[srislash]

Jason - awesome paintjob and awesome MG. Your boat is as fast as it looks!

Ed - you really made this thread more active than usual, so thanks! Heck, I should've sold you my MG hull and hardware instead, eh? hahahaha Eliminates some problems.

Shawn - for some reason I cant see PB's website in my MBP, but I saw it in my iPad. So the same MG hull is now colored red and called Blackjack? Just some new electronics but same MG hull? So now the turbine canopy can fit that as well? hahahaha!

So where would this new red painted blackjack boat be categorized in ose - under MG or BJ? hehehe

And a request for a larger size MG hull.

Hey where did you find more of the black water line?Lookin good Jason.

And Stephen,just tell me what you want for thickness and strength.How many layers of CF and such.The sheet I made for my Shocker mounts would probably stop bullets.

Gees man! I don't know how thick should I use. hmmmm! 3mm thick perhaps? is it too thick or too thin? hahaha!

What size hull and with what power?

Now Mardon has a tubine canopy that will fit the Mystic, MG29, BJ29! woooohoooo!

I have now a T-600 motor and FC motor mount coming in that I hope will fit the MG37! Yeeeeeeeey!

[srislash]

ED,I believe the strudder at FC is the same as the one at R2.Except Ben had an offset made for it.

Naww, where would the fun be in that? I'd rather ask you guys and keep you on your toes
Think of it as bringing you guys closer than you've ever been.

Hi Ed,

Since your hull is arriving, lets wait for it and once its there you can measure the mounting holes and Im sure Shawn can accommodate you with the mounting hole dimensions of his.
Anyway, feel free to choose a strudder that you will feel comfortable in using and if it doesnt match the mounting holes of the hull - you can plug those holes and make new ones. Chances are they're pretty standard, but things can go slightly different as well.

Dont let the stock mounting holes affect your hardware choice - you can easily take that out of the equation by plugging the holes and working on a clean slate.

For one thing, you can also consider the stock MG strudder - just add the ose offset standoffs and you're good to go. It perfectly fits the mounting holes and you dont have to add a short copper stuffing tube to join them together. I dont think there were issues on the strength of the stock MG hardware.

The only issue however is that if you will elect a slightly bigger flex shaft - will it still fit the stock strut. The guys here could probably answer this for you.

Ok sounds good, it should be here tomorrow, been tracking it closely.

Btw, I am not as experienced as you guys are in working with chassis. For starters I want to stay away from drilling or plugging holes until I get used to the boat. Then maybe I can venture into deeper waters... no pun intended.

So, are you saying that the stock MG strudder is inferior to the R2, FC or OSE strudders? What is the difference?

Also, do any of the above strudders (except the stock one) fit perfectly on the MG w/o any mods for mounting position on transom or adding that piece to join strut to stuffing tube?

I like the Kentec offset rudder. I used a plastic pin in the lower bolt to act as a shear pin in case I hit something.. It comes ready to bolt on.

I may need a hatch for one Macdon.

Thanks Lenny - I did get to view everything in PB's website. It seems a revamp of the name as well as other products! A huge congrats to PB! Just in time for the new rc boat magazine coming out!

You getting this new BJ Lenny? Sure bud - just give me a holler anytime! :)

[skyman]

which rc boat magazine is that?

[macdon]

What?!!?? we are at page 62 already?? My email notifications cant even keep up! It says that the last poster was Lenny.

When I came down to eat lunch it was just page 61 .............jeesh, you guys are having fun!

[jasoncyclone]

Yup, that's what I am using. I like it. Strong and functional.

Kinda looks like Ed has revamped the MG talk!!!
