I have a rigger with a 22" tub and is 26" overall.
I don't have a weight on it but the 5000mAh pack and a 7S is what I run too.
A 100A mystery esc and then a 5cell aaa rx pack and 9g servo and small rx makes up the rest of the weight.
The hull is mostly balsa so is fairly light.
On choppy water I shoot a couple of 9v square cells in the front to add a bit of weight to hold it on the water.
Go with what you have and I am sure that you will be fine. Do you know where your Cg is or will be ?See it....find the photos.....sketch it it....build it........with wood -
Simon thanks for the reply i thought you had one running thr same motor.
Mines balsa and 1/32 ply its a copy of my jae 12g. The water is frozen here now until spring
so i can't try it. Balances around the turn fin no rx pack in.I will try post a picture of it.:canada
