In addition to the above do not forget...what makes a rigger wanna hook in the corners? I am referring to a large rigger, (gas)
steve, i live north of winchester, and work in leesburg. where do you run/practice around here? i'd like to find people to run with in the area. seems like there are VERY few rc boaters west of fairfax area. you are the only one i have seen that listed a location close to me.
Steve, We talked at lake, the boat was hooking coming out of the turn. Make sure that rudder servo is good. Test with taking some rudder throw out. I think your over steering the boat coming out of the corner. MHO Ray
Throw the boat into the trash can and put that quickdraw in one of Ralph's/ Don's new riggers that Don just kicked everyones a$$ with at the last race. Don won the nationals a lot of years ago with a gas engine and a roadrunner 90 hull, and just re-visited the boat that worked back then. Hey, it still works even with the powerfull engines we have today. Ralph will be building them, so you can buy one that works or you can continue to experiment. It's up to you. But, major boat mods will be needed to make the boat work like you want it. I saw it run. I have run others like it. Let it Go!!!!!!!!!!
I responded from work, and I guess I was on the rag. The new job is making me a mad man. HELP! I'll go back and edit. My sense of humor is often mis read.That's some bedside manner you have Dr. Finch, 1st El Zorro now Steve. :lol: :lol: :lol: Ray

... and a bigger rudder blade. B)Steve,The boat just needs some tune up time.
It's a sgx gas rigger. The boat is about 4-5 yrs. old. It's an older version.I responded from work, and I guess I was on the rag. The new job is making me a mad man. HELP! I'll go back and edit.That's some bedside manner you have Dr. Finch, 1st El Zorro now Steve. :lol: :lol: :lol: Ray
steve what name brand rigger is it.
Hi , my gas rigger was doing the same thing - after changing the setup a bit i found that the rudder blade was angled slighty backward (as the boat was running ) and as the boat was in the turn the rudder was lifting the rear of the boat and wetting the front sponsons too much - even the slightest steering input made it dart like crazy - angled the blade foward and all problems solved
Hope that all makes sense
