Stinger or strut.

[DaveMarles]

Mono racers, whats your preference on .21 to .67 boats, struts or stingers.

depens on the placement of the rudder (distance from the transom), but me personally I prefer struts.

I use a strut on my .45 Seaducer. Cant say I ever recall seeing a stinger on one of those boats(SEADUCER) that wasnt a gas boat.

But Ive been wrong before-LOL.

.21-.67 sized stinger http://www.rossisales.com/strut.html

I have a stinger on my .21 microburst mono works great and I have a strut on the .40 mono which worked equally as well.

I like struts because I think they disrupt the water to the prop less than a stinger.

It seems to me most gas boats I see use a stinger instead of a strut, does that not seem to effect them as much as a nitro boat ?

I like the adjustabilty of a stinger , but they seem like they would be a bit long and bulky on a .45 mono for instance ??

Anyone ever run one on a .45 Seaducer ??

I only run 21 mono, John Finch's Wild Thing which he designed with a stinger. Don't know if he and Kently used that set up on the record run. :unsure: :unsure: :unsure:

 

[carlnoki]

Dave The Strut will always allow you to change running dept & Angle of drive line. This will allow you to set up for different water conditons or diff race sites. Most stinger drives only allow for drive line Angle changes only. No advantage to running a stinger.. I have ran them both on seaducers 45-60-80 Joe w

[carlnoki]

on both of the stingers i got from speedmaster, they BOTH have DEPTH and ANGULAR ajustability.

[Rigged]

both of my stingers (Speedmaster & Top Secret) have depth adjustment and angle.

 

[Terry Keeley]

Haven't tried the stinger setup, at first glance it looks like a nice neat installation but I wonder how "solid" it is? :huh:

I just ran the stuffing tube out the transom without a stinger or strut. They all work. Just a matter of what you have in the parts drawer.

Stingers are VERY solid. I was able to pick up my 45" hull by the 5" stinger on the transom. BTW, I custom made that stinger from 1/2" plate for a 1/4" drive. Still have it somewhere. I'll probably use it again on my home design twin mono. It put the prop about 5 1/2" off the tramsom........

 

[Ron Olson]

I've got 2 of the Speedmaster stingers but have used the struts in the past. Nothing wrong with either way. There are a few that I wouldn't use from other manufacturers but the Speedmaster and Top Speed units look fine.

 

[Capt Ron]

strut...

[John Finch]

How about we talk about how far from the transom do we position the prop? That is probable the best question here on struts. Height, angle, etc.
