    help finding a small rigger

    I'm trying to figure out what little rigger to get. I see hobbyking has one for $20 but there is no hardware with it or sold for it. But that's right about what I'm looking for. I want just a dirt cheap little rigger that runs like 3s max. Does about 45-50mph and does it happily lol. I do want to build it. Any ideas? I'm thinking of using china electris from hobbyking or hobbypartz in it to help keep it cheap. I just can't seem to find the cheap hull kit.

    I listed my aeromaring scorpion hull in the WTS section to see if any wants to trade but I'm thinking that's a dead end. But maybe I can use the rudder off that.

    I have a 3s 3300mah 40c pack already to go in this rigger.

      Yep Zippkits Mini Sprint, may be more than you want to spend though but you will have one of the finest handling mini hydros that will turn on a dime flat out.

        I am building the HK rigger. The kit isnt the best, wood was warped. All cheap 3 ply (with a large core). You wont find a strut to fit the predrilled holes. I used the $16 rigger strut from Kintec. I boght 3 struts to find the best one... HK does sell the rudder for it though and motor. ESC would be best to be smaller 60A Hobbywing or Turnigy.

        Not sure if a 3S 3300 will fit. A 2200 does...

          The zip kit does seem to be tge cheapest out there since it comes with all the hardware. Everything else I see is just tge hull

            There is this one, if you want cheap. Free shipping too. Looks the same as the HK & R2 Hobbies kit but it is ARTR.
            I don't have one myself but I have bought the Arowana II from them & it was a pretty good package.

            See the danger. THEN DO IT ANYWAY!!!

                I recently tried www.keepthingssimple.eu and got my HW from http://www.modellbau-dortmund.de/ (1.5mm Wiredrive) and runs perfectly fine.
