Overview
Upgrade the rudder system on your Traxxas DCB M41 Catamaran with the Hot Racing Aluminum Dual-Pickup Rudder Blade. CNC-machined from billet aluminum and finished in striking blue anodizing, this rudder replaces the factory plastic blade with a stronger, more rigid component that adds a critical upgrade: dual water pickups for improved engine and ESC cooling.
For high-power M41 builds, cooling is everything. The dual-pickup rudder feeds twice the water flow into the cooling system, dramatically improving heat dissipation under sustained throttle. A direct-installation upgrade with no chassis modification required.
Key Features
