Is there a better Strut/Rudder system for the SV27 other than the stock one? I need to replace mine and was woundering if there was something better.

twisted liquid racing has an upgraded rudder:

type in twisted liquid racing in the asterisks(minus the spaces)
don't know about any strut stuff besides purchasing the stock strut.
And before anyone twitches to remind me, I do know that twisted has had several problems w/customers.
I've ordered several of their products and was just fine.

Go to RCtech & have a look at what people have to say about twisted liquid...... I won't buy from him, especially after some of the posts he's since deleted.
just my opinion.

I really have to ask this "stupid" question.... and it´s a bit offtopic
I found this Grims talk from Super Tune Your Super Vee 27 topic what needs to be done to stock sv27:
Rudder blade tucked full under (stock shear bolt)
http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_47...tm.htm#4752309
I don´t understand what is stock shear bolt
do i need to change my svees rudder position(stock position is about 90 dec) to smaller angle(tucked full down)? What do i get to make this operation??stability in turns or what???

the shear bolt is the bottom of the two you have pointed out. you undo them & push the tip of the rudder as forward as you can & then re-tighten the bolts. it helps the boat stay stable in the turn. some people replace the bottom bolt with a brass one incase they hit a submerged log, this way the brass bolt shears off & saves the boat from further damage.

Thanks
So i will try it next week. Is there any other effects like increase/decrease of speed etc?
Anybody have any pictures from the rudder with that setup?
What about the turn fin angle(left and right side)? Is there a good and peoples tested position also?
