Vintage car weight comparisons ( Runners)

[Mad Racer]

Hi all.

I have put a list of my vintage buggies weights ready to run. As i have most of my runners ready for the vintage festival i thought i would do some weight watchers comparison .. These are my weights with 2.2 wheels. Li Po battery unless otherwise stated.

Please note this not just Kyosho but all my runners i'm keen to take.

Original Ultima. Turbo spec except body. 1213g ( No battery Brusless Z Run combo)

Turbo Optima. 1527g ( With battery, LRP Quantum esc.)

Lazer ZX 1630g ( Li Po saddels , Z run combo)

Top Cat 1119g . ( No battery , Lrp Quantum esc)

Samurai 1261g ( No battery, Alloy wheels, )

Thunder Shot. ( No battery, Custom Wing kit) 1327g

Big Wig 1385g ( Uni's all round, Z run combo)

Li Po Battery hard case 3300 198g..

What surprised me is the Turbo Optima was not much fatter than the Mini Mustang. .
The Ultima is full turbo spec but has a brushless set up while the Top Cat is with a silver can motor. Still only 15g in it.

Will update weights with more runners when i can.

I was thinking of making a post like this too, but it has to be a consistent configuration. Adding battery weights will bring way too much variability to the weight; NiCd, NiMH, LiPo, LiFe, 6 cells, 7 cells, 1s, 2s, 3s...stick pack, hump pack, saddle; hard case, shrink wrapped, bare cells...to keep the results more or less equivalent, we should weigh the cars as motored, bodied rolling chassis'--without batteries.
