@catamaranman333 they can be used to trim out roll and also to get rid of porpoising which I should have mentioned after running the boat. I usually prefer the other two methods mentioned in the video to get rid of the porpoising as I feel it causes less drag. It's just my personal preference which doesn't mean its right or wrong.
@HobbykingLive Yeah, adjusting the stinger rather than the trim tabs seems like a lower-drag solution to me too, hence the question. I really know nothing about RC boats although I have alot of professional experience with the scale ones. Just wondered how it all "translated" to RC...thanks Frank!
@nerdyrcdriver this is the list price and it will change quite a bit after you log on to HobbyKing's website and add it to the cart. Price will also vary if you are a gold, platinum or VIP member.
Its well over priced which is a shame.

So, what is the practical use for the adjustable trim tabs? Just for roll-control?
