Whiplash Sport 40 component placement

[RaceMechaniX]

Hey guys,

I am in the process of rigging a whip sport 40 and would like to see some pics of radio box set-ups and where you guys placed your steering servo and how you installed your pipe.

Also looking for comments on which header to run to with a 45HR and AB 45 parabolic. I was planning on running a std size servo for steering and two mini's for mixture and throttle.

Any preferred method of mounting the strut? Either from the inside of the transom or from the floor?

Pics would be especially helpful.

Thanks,

Tyler

when i did my last whiplash i used no header on the pipe i ran the pipe right to the exhaust port with the super coupler it bent much better and allowed me to exit the pipe out the transom just my 2cents

which one are you building the gen 1 or gen 2

Tyler,

Sorry no pics, but I mount from the transom. Stronger & less flex than a floor mount!!!

Thanks Don,

Now the challenge of figuring out the best place to put the steering servo: in the radio box with a loooong pushrod or in a separate box in the back?

Long carbon fiber rod works best with 4-40 threded rod epoxyed in at the ends
