    Farther to the right will speed up the hooking to the right. Short of moving the rudder to the left or port side best will be to limit the travel. How heavy is the servo?

      Hooking to the right is not the problem, it's when you make the least little bit of left correction it tries to roll over (barrel roll). Are you talking about strength or weight? it's a Savox SW0231MG 208oz. torque and it weighs 66g.

        Hey guys, do you know where to pick up a bare hull?
        I was too cheap to spring for the $100 shipping from Monica, though she was an absolute pleasure to deal with.
        I ordered one from horracing, but 30 days later no hull, and no response from Johnny, not a pleasure to deal with, PAYPAL dispute pending. I hope TFL pulls their business from that one.

        That said, anyone know of another US distributor?
        Thanks!

          The 208oz. torque is good. I usually limit the steering more on the left until it stop hooking at speeds under 50/55 MPH. For Sports that Hotter than that, You must slow down a little first. Or before you turn to the left.

                        I've bought three boats from TFL and there's no deals on the shipping, but if it's any consolation they have the best service of any overseas company I've ever dealt with and Monica is the best!

                          Sorry for the cheeky sarcasm....spent the day in the rain hanging Christmas lights...

                            I also ordered from HOR Racing on 27 October but no boat yet and likewise filed a dispute with Paypal. Maybe Popeye in now in short supply! I feel TFL $100 shipping is rather high to Australia. Perhaps I will order again from Kintec when he gets more in. In the meantime I have a ML Boatworks GP400V2 to build.

                              Yea Monica is really awesome, but when shipping costs more than the hull itself, I just can't pull a trigger on that. My shipping quote was $120 something to FL...
