twin build pictures

What about a futaba S9157 digital - its only standard size, but is 425oz of power, and all the trimmings in features, would that be good enough for a twin 90 rigger

 

[Rick Pirrone]

Very nice set up!! One thing i noticed, with all that power those motors have does your small rudder servo have enough torque?? and also

what we do on twins is slide a hollow carbonfiber rod or stainless steal rod over the 4-40 rudder rod to reinforce it so i doesnt flex at top

speed or in the turns...just a thought for you

Best to use a 1/8 stainless tig welding rod for a rudder servo rod and tap the ends 6/32. the Aeromarine seals can be used to seal the radio box. just re-thread your ends 6/32 and red loctite everything. Many of us are over 400oz on the turn servos some have gone to mid 500 oz on the turn servo with 1/4 or 1/5th scale gears hitech# 7955 makes a average 1/4 scale servo or Futaba 5050 or you will have to go to the Savox Monster servos to turn the twin if you want 450 - 555oz plus.....p.s. Small servos have small gears & will Not hold the exiting corners at High Speeds, also there is No point in adding to or stengthing the servos rod if you dont add more torque to turn the boat

thanks for the comments guys i havent done much over the last few weeks as im moving factories and looking forward to xmas holidays fishing with the family

i will be using the hitec 7955 tg (24 kg @6.0 volt) not sure what the oz is

i have a run this servo in a sgx2 with these engines using eagle hardware and 440 rod all seemed to hold up ok

but i will keep your sugestions im mind

cheers rick

You can visit servocity.com to view the spec on most any servo.

Great looking twin. May I say add some shaft oilers. Big time saver and very clean?

I picked up a twin JAE Zippkit short kit, Rick. Thanks for posting some inside pics. The linkage was what I needed to see. I looked for this post last week and never found it. I better go build one now. We don't have many twins in D1 YET After seeing Tim K run his last season ,we all want one. Thanks Tim for showing us NYers how to run a twin rigger .We were all drooling after your run. I don't plan on racing one but I plan on a lot of fun this next summer running one.

Thanks Neil

Rumor has it that there is at least a couple new twins in D-1 this season , can't wait to see them on the water.

I have upgraded to some new Engines for this season hopefully I can keep up.

Rumor is true Tim We got a builder gone wild ,this end of the lake. Rick is popping them out like a toaster. So his handle is" Toast "from now on. His latest is a new Vee hull from Joe. The Vbox

 

[Richard H. Parshall jr.]

I hope you left enough room for fuel !! Two 18 oz - 20 oz tanks are necessary for heat racing with those engines .
