RE: Custom Rudders
Very nice!
What is the weight of that thing?
...IMO, if you made a 45 degree angle on the edges of the plate, it would reflect more light and look nicer after the polishing stages... just my opinion though...
How long did it take you to do it from start to finish and what color are you planning to anno it?
PS. how about some mounted pics (on your boat)
And great attention to detail!
you're making me jealous every time you update this post...

Weight ? It's a little heavier than the plastic I use but............. This on will last thru the roughest crashes.
All that is left is the (beauty) cuts. I will do as you suggested............ 45 degrees it is.
What color would you like to see. I kinda like the blue on the Evo motor thats why I took it out of the box for the pic.

Yes, Blue is Better...
reminds me of my LRP powered T4
just a beauty tip I noticed when I used to race 1/8 scale buggies - when you anno it, leave the 45 degree cuts uncolored, then polish them to make the job look factory!
below is a pic of something blue that I treasure...[8D]

I ran out of time today. Wanted to assemble and do a little running. So.... one updated pic will have to do. Hull looks crappy due to a crash and another rebuild. Will repaint once all hardware is tested and fine tuned.
If you have a problem with the stickers....Talk with my 2 year old.
