Mini Rigger

[wparsons]

On the one I'm working on, I moved the rear sponson boom back to allow a 3s 2200mah pack to fit between the booms.

Any more details on yours? Is it a scaled down JAE with a bigger tub as well?

Yes it is. I intend to run a 3s 2650 pack. I run 2150 zippy packs in my old rigger and only get about 4 minutes runtime and the battery would get warm, so I wanted to go with a litttle larger battery. In order to keep the CG where it needs to be on a 16" boat I needed to be able to run the battery close to the motor. The mounts I made for the rear are just as stable as the front boom, which is one piece. I also ran into an issue with putting the collars on the front boom, so I secure it with one screw through the bottom of the tub and front boom. Here are some photos.

What motor mount and strut are you using? Where'd you get the hatch?

[Jim Bob]

I made it all. Hatch is 1/32 plywood.

Oh man!
A mini rigger that I could run my small 3s 2200mah packs in would be killer!

What kind of speed are you getting out her??

[Jim Bob]

Have not run it yet, and don't have a wy to tell. No gps or radar.
