What are some weight you guys are running your 21 riggers at RTR less fuel ??
 
my current boat is 3LBS 7oz

old boat 3 lbs 11 oz

quit honestly i man on the fence as to if all the work i did this year on trying to lighten it up was worth it or not.. i have made more gains on rear sponson attack angle than the weight has lol

My Nowicki boat weight is 4 pounds. How do you guys get under 4 pounds? What size batteries are you using? My boat is put together with mainly two sided tape and it's still 4 pounds :angry:

Aluminum & Nylon Screws, lightening holes in everything aluminum, NO EXCESS glue, light paint job, super light weight wood for reinforcement (cedar), very light cowlings. These are the main things. Up until now, the best that I have been able to get to is just under 3 3/4 lbs.
 
i hope you guys don't mind me asking but what do your .45 riggers weigh rtr less fuel, mine is 4lbs 10oz

i have not run it yet :unsure: i actually thought it was a bit heavy, being my first nitro boat i had nothing else to go off
 
4 lbs 10 Oz: must be a SAW rigger if that is RTR without fuel.... That would be 2,093 kg
 
Jacob,

This post should be moved to the 45 Hydro topic.

Your boat should turn well.

Thanks,
