Hi every one I am debating on building a legal .12 rigger to race an play . i know JAE riggers r great but every one has one like some other opotions . THANK"S to all on here adam
Adam, no matter what boat you build, keep it light and make sure the drive line has very low drag. Shoot for 2 lbs ready to run...a little more is OK, a little less is really OK.Hi every one I am debating on building a legal .12 rigger to race an play . i know JAE riggers r great but every one has one like some other opotions .

What??? Mine are built per directions and take major abuse!!I think there is an eagle .12 version, good luck finding that boat though.
The JAE's are excellent boats and easy to build. I would just go that route and make the very necessary structural upgrades to the kit so that the boat does not fall apart every other race.
I agree with Glenn here. I have a Jae .12 G2 that weighs about 2.2 lbs race ready and a G3 ultralight that weighs just under 2 lbs. The ultralight launches much easier and pulls a bigger prop. Lighter is better with a .12.Adam, no matter what boat you build, keep it light and make sure the drive line has very low drag.

The way the kits do the booms leaves them incredibly vulnerable to mechanical failures across the board. You can easily minimize the potential failures without adding any significant weight to the boat.I honestly have no clue what Jeff is talking about... " Falling Apart".... I dont see that happening.
Adam, the only mod I recommend on the 12 motor is a carb mod. I do those for $15. You will also want to lower the head clearance for max performance.great info i am thinking of the lighting or ff with a nova rossi .12 5 port do i need any engine mods an by whom really thank every one that has answered this post . adam
Hey Adam, the motor is $165 and carb mod is $15, and a set of head shims is $4. Shipping is around $13 with insurance, I also have the collets, headers, pipes etc that you will need. If you want to buy the whole package I will do the carb mod and set the head clearance for free.Hi glen u been very helpful in this how much for a done up engine and r u going to hobart this weekend . thanks adam
