Gas Blackjack 55

Recently picked up a blackjack 55.

How do I wire up the dual steering servos to my 3ch FM RX?

Do one of the servos need to be reversed?

thanks

Re: Blackjack 55

As stock I run mine one servo for throttle and one for steering with the dual rudder set up there is a connecting rod between the two rudders. As for my BJ55 I run a single rudder and pick up for more speed less drag.

YA.

Re: Blackjack 55

Thanks Yard ape.
What I was wondering is how do I connect 2 rudder servos to my receiver?

Do I use a Y-harness and do one of the servos need to be reversed?

I just want to get this boat running and then might upgrade the steering system.

Could use a reversing Y harness so the servos are sitting the the same way.

Yup you will need a reversing y harness. Pics of your set up will help.

YA.
