Excuse me for coming here real late about this model but, I was wondering if anyone noticed how super heavy it is?
Why do I ask?
Because I found out tonight!
Can you all say
4.25 ounces !!!
EDIT: Can you believe a
GRAND Total of 8.5 Ounces of DEAD WEIGHT!!!
It is just unbelievable to me that
any vendor would do this to such a nice looking model.
For those who have this model and been trying to lighten it up then, you would need to literally DIG into the bottom, frontal side of the FUSE. However, what I did was to DIG out from the FRONT BOTTOM side of the FUSE and right below the Wood Firewall and carefully cut the glue along the bottom Frontal side in order to slightly separate the two FUSE sides just enough slide those LARGE and HEAVY
STEEL SOLID ROLLER Bearings!
I got the model when a member of my RC Club had been frustrated that one of the Retracts didn't work anymore because it seems like some glue went inside the housing from a previous crash / repair and he purposely crash the model and I came running and told him that I would like the model because it was back in January and he had that wild look in his eye to throw it in the Burn Barrow that we use for heat during the winter season.
He took his Motor, ESC and Receiver and he gave it to me so, here we are ladies and gentlemen.
It is just unreal to me that any vendor could do this to any "FOAM" model as this is why we purchase these FOAM models so, they can be light!
