How much does your Tantrum weigh?

[tvuk2000]

Hi

I've just built a MM Tantrum and the weight without Batteries is 14 oz, I noticed on the Mountainmodels website that they have the AUW with LiPos as 12 - 13 ozs.

I thought I had built it standard other than some thicker than necessary reinfoced tape on the control surfaces. I used solar light covering and have a pretty standard setup as far as I know.

My setup currently is:

Stock GWS 300c Motor and Gearbox
3 HS55 servos 1 Pico servo
Jeti Rex 4 ch Rx
GWS ICS300 ESC
KAN1050 Batts which add another 6 ozs taking the AUW up to 20 ozs!

So I was wondering how other peoples weights compare and if there are any weight cutting measures I could do (other than LiPos I know that will make a big difference)

Thanks

Steve

Wow, that is on the heavy side. I just a Tantrum kit and will be starting it after I build my 3D trainer. My understanding is that people are using the Razor 400 with GWS gearbox for their power. I know I will be heavy because I will be using a Razor 2500A. I hope though the power the Razor 2500A will be able to overcome any weight isses.
