RC Boat Trim Tab Tuning Tips - How To Use Trim Tabs Effectively - Deltaforce 35

In this video we take the Delta force 35 to the lake, I go over trim tab adjustments and turning tips to help you understand how trim tabs work how they work in different situations And how a trim tabs can benefit you and your RC boat. Trim tabs is a great addition for any boat mostly used on mono hull boats to help with the performance.
Those of you new to boating this is the perfect video because I go over each trim tab adjustment and actually show how it works on the boat. It's a little bit repetitive since we have to actually put l the boat in-and-out of the water it's a little repetitive. That's just how you tune an RC boat put it in the water see how it runs and you make your adjustments according..
Thank you for watching IRONCLAD RC tinker test and tune everything RC.

Great setup vid! Dang B, we really like the same boats! I got a DF29, 3674, 2200KV, 4s, M445 prop. It's a rippin' boat! The runtime is ridiculously long with this boat, really fun to drive! Your boat is the same. The setup on the trims follows any deep V hull I think. How you plan on running the boat is huge too! Circle track vs. SAW runs are world's apart. I like you kept this mainly to good circle track or fun running!

Finally a video on trimming them,awusome

Thanks for making this, it helped me

[@tonysmithers6131]

Awesome vid bro. Extremely informative. We need more people to adopt to teaching as they learn. Its not rocket science. Its just knowing how to adjust the right way. Good stuff. More vids on current issues please. Great content.

Thank you very much , you are awesome and helped me get my new arrow 5 beginners boat squared away. I am new to boats and you know your craft and have saved me alot of money I'm sure. CHEERS !

[@markharper5017]

Thankyou, Thankyou, Thankyou. have been looking for a video JUST like this. An explanation of how to and what the trim Tabs do. 5 stars and a sub

[@alantaylor353]

Thanks mate, you've just told me everything I wanted to know.! I've got about 40+ RC cars of all types & sizes but I've never had a boat. Every summer for like the last 4 years I've told myself tget myself one, but always ended up getting another car.! Any, my Volantex Vector SR80 just arrived this morning, I've just finished checking all the bolts & screws & now I'm getting ready to take her out for the maiden voyage... I'm starting off on 3S before running 4S.! I've been running cars for so long & I've had so many of them that I rarely get excited about a new one unless it's something really special like an Infraction or a UDR.. I'm actually super excited about this boat, it's very impressive just sitting on the bench, it seems very solidly built & has nice alloy parts on it.. I'm going to go to the bother of taking my Gopro with me because I have a feeling this is going to be something I want to remember.! 😉 😉. Anyways, subbed & liked & the very best wishes from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🙏 ❤️ 📻 🕹️ 🔋🛥 🛳!

Good luck brother and welcome to the boat gang! Glad I can gelp

[@ManCaveTVWest]

This is the video we've been waiting for. Great job. Big thumbs up!

[@Vrediskin]

i get it - fck the trim tabs )))) its big fun to get em up ))) Spasibo !

[@daddysoups5047]

Great channel, Great videos, very informative. Keep up the fantastic work 👊 💪 Question. Do trim tabs need adjusting every time the boat is taken out? For example, changes in water conditions and wind? Or once set, they are more or less set for life ?

[@S5UPERCHARGED]

This is very helpful, I have been struggling with torque roll, I've even used a gyro receiver but this was causing stability issues at high speed. Maybe I should have thought about the trim tabs before 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@IRONCLADRC]

Try up (positive) angle? Maybe settle the rear of the boat

[@jamescollins9716]

awesome video as always sir, just picked up a sonicwake v2 and trying to learn about how to make changes to get it to run the way I want it to. seems to take a whole to get on plane and have next to no steering untill its on plane .. either way great information will have to get out there tomorrow and give it another shot

[@IRONCLADRC]

Prop change will help, good place to start is a 4519 any brand 4519 will work

[@riderzinc]

Thanks, my boat has no trim tabs, It acts very dry like when you had the trim tabs all the way up, front end slaps the water alot.

[@hyperflowfans]

I traded for a Traxxas M41 last week. Kind of crazy that you came out with the video today because I was getting ready to buy some trim tabs earlier.

[@IRONCLADRC]

I read your mind... Lol. Glad I could help. Thanks for watching

[@IRONCLADRC]

What boat are you running

[@hyperflowfans]

I've got a Traxxas m41 wide body

[@jaycevessier7554]

@@hyperflowfans your boat should already have trim tabs factory

[@hyperflowfans]

@@jaycevessier7554 yes of course it has factory trim tabs but they are unadjustable.

[@robbomber984]

Wish I had access to a little pond, I'm working on it though.

[@pavelack]

very informational video to see, how about he turn fins does having them too "in" give you a big decrease in speed due to drag?

[@IRONCLADRC]

The turn fins should only be in the water in a turn

[@robbomber984]

Thanks my impulse is chine walking at about 50 mph,slower not bad.

[@johnconner589]

[@alandurden1826]

would you put trim tabs on a catamaran.

[@IRONCLADRC]

I run trim tabs on my Blackjack 42 that's the only cat I run them on.

[@05_caoquangbach21]

Are trimming tabs needed for a Catamaran ?

[@IRONCLADRC]

No, some cats could use them but it's definitely not necessary

[@tripletrc5654]

Hey Iron clad great videos, I'm a new subscriber and I just bought a Pro boat Sonic Wake v1 for my son. I noticed that it doesn't have the trim tab adjusting screws are those available for this boat? Thanx, it's because passionate people like you that make things more fun.

[@IRONCLADRC]

I you can purchase the V2 trim tab set or rc boat blitz trim tab adjusters, Offshore electronics also has them for the SonicWake

[@jaycevessier7554]

Careful with those zeee batteries bud, those are the batteries that I got online, when they came in I threw them on charger and one blew up and burnt my shop down.

[@naveda08]

yikes man, i got some peeps excited about these cheap batts ill make sure to warn them

[@jaycevessier7554]

@@naveda08 I sure would. Lost everything in the shop. Thank god for home owners insurance

[@IRONCLADRC]

Wow thanks for the heads up brother! Hate to hear about the shop. I had to replace my carpet 40x12 because of a fire.

[@2007CHANCHO]

Steering trim along with trim tab adjustment is required or you can’t fully trim out your boat. My point….if you trim your boat for full out top speed smooth in a straight line then want to run at a slower speed then your boat will not track straight. A neutral trim tab is best for all around running. …I got off topic, sorry. This comment is just to tell people that as you change trim tab settings there are other variables to address….tabs cause drag more than they create “lift”….it’s not as simple as up and down, there is left and right and balance.

[@IRONCLADRC]

That's correct. Great point

[@str8alphamale]

I wouldn't want my boat to run dry. Does too much porpesing.
