Obviously there will be a few g's difference with different elctrics etc.

it seems people are confident on Lipo being allowed next year too! lol
Mine fully loaded, ive stated before but just checked it on accurate digital scales and it is 1505g. That is with 3200 Trakpower, GTB, Ko 2143, Futaba Receiver.

The BRCA minimum is 1588g

guys, upon closer inspection on the main belt(via the pics), it seems to me that the batt wld go under the belt. was wondering if the wires of the lipos wld interfere with the main belt? As u may know, some lipos (i.e. orions) have their wires stick out from the top, which may pose a hindrance to the belts.......

Hi Chris :)

Very light indeed :drool:

What kind of tyre did you put on the car to reach this weight ?

Thanks

Olivier

Hey Olivier, hope you are well mate? This was with Minispike-2 on the kit lite wheels and Schumacher Inserts. it will have Pins on shortly which are heavier - i'll weigh again then.

Yes, well spotted. My Trakpower has top loading corally plugs and they would interfere with the belt - but I have tie-wrapped the wires to the under side of the top deck and they clear the belt by a good 5mm. Even though I have left enough slack on the wire for me to plug the cells in before I slide them right back. Im so comfortable with it I forgot about it - its fine - just do apply some thought to it when you build yours. ;)

Tires arrived, just nipped home and put them on, weighed it and with Minipins the race ready weight is 1555g :thumbsup:

So, cars weigh 50g more switching from Minispikes to Minipins.
