On RCG Discussions a mate told me to just tape the front starboard one until the toe in makes the boat track straight, then bolt it. I was also thinking maybe 2, 3mm set scews on that point and make a small flat spot on the carbon rod. Once right the drill through and bolt it.

That's a good idea. How far along are you on yours now?

I think I used 2mm no nuts. I tapped the rod.
Thx!

I use 3/32 not 2mm sorry. You can use traxxas set pins. There a pin with threads at the top.
Ok, thanks

Hello Moonie,
I have one of those 4s taipan riggers from Paul Osmond Ive had it for about 10 years only mine was set up 6s and I think it was a bit heavy for a 4s hull.
If you are still on this forum could you tell me your set up as I would love to set this up as a 4s please include if you would, your motor brand and size and KV what esc you run and battery and most importantly what prop brand and size and if flex or wire drive.
If you know what speed you get out of it that would give me a target for mine.
Thanks In advance
James
Hey Moodie,The last one you have listed 4s full P 31 inch my hull is 31 inch wow 71 mph that is so fast I?m in Australia and live on the water I don?t race I just love riggers and the speed they can go. My most fun rigger is a TFL arrow it only does 60 but I changed the sponsons to a KEPS style and it goes through the choppy water well and handles like it?s on rails.,
Ide love to resurrect this taipan it?s such a good looking boat.
Thanks James
Hey James here you go.
Motor- Neu 1515 1.5d 2700kv 8mm conceits on it
Prop- modded ABC H6
Esc- Castle xlx I mod them let me know if you need one
Battery- thunder power 5,000 mah 55c to 70c
Skid fin- Virginia craftsman sport 20 fin cut smaller
Cable- 3/16 to 3/16 shaft
Thank you moonie,
What are 8mm conceits
I have a spare 150 amp Flycolor esc they are waterproof and handle 1080 amp peaks,what amp is the xlx?
James
Sorry I’m on my phone at work. 8mm connectors on the motor. Castle xlx current limit can be set to 400amps. The motor I mention is a hungry set up. Your not racing so a 150 esc could be the ticket for you.
Moonie, that XLX sounds like a brute what?s the Finished weight and the cost.can it do 8 s
( just for future reference)
James
Actually I finally finished it last fall. I still haven't taken it for a spin. I have in it a Scorpion 36mm x 83mm motor, 2200Kv 1Y with a SF200 old style 2-6S Esc and 4S1P 6000Mah Hacker 100-200C lipo's they are very capable.
I was going to try a ABC 1817 on it unless you can steer me to a different prop??
TIA

I’m not sure on the weight but it’s minimum. It comes out less weight than a stock xlx. 8s it the max cell count. Right now they are $290 shipped.
