1/8 dumas Atlas Van Lines

[t_hedlund]

I'm looking to start buying the hardware for my 1/8 dumas ALV boat from rossi sales but which rudder should i go with. I was thinking of going with the .60/.90 dual pick up rudder , but should i go with the Standard or the extented one.

Also which strut should i go with the 3/16 or the 1/4 and how about the round or flat bottom?

Thanks inadvance

You definitely don't need that much rudder. I use the #102-40 Speedmaster 40 sized rudders (full length) on all my scales with no problems. For strut go with the #VM-4 1/4" round bottom, a 3/16" cable will not be strong enough with the higher h.p. of current 67 motors.

Ok I'll will go with that rudder and strut combo.

Thanks

I use the VM4R Strut

I use the 60/90 speedmaster rudder

Rudder

The .45 rudder should work too, but I have never tried it.

are any of these rudders kick back rudders?

Thanks

yes you just have to use a brass screw in one of the holes. they all have two holes on the blade.

Would a nylon screw work on a slower boat?

I have a .67 CMB for this boat and i was wondering what prop should i start with?
