How much does your Protos weigh?

[mattmezz]

I have a couple 3300mah packs that are from a trex 500 that bit the big one… the packs weigh around 515g, I was thinking putting them on my protos, but it’s not stretched. So I thought I could add some weight to the tail.
Think this is a good idea or am I dooming my protos to an ill fate?

I'm using turnigy 3300s but my protos is stretched. Still flies very well. Very little difference when I'm flying with nanotec 2700 65c. Flying times I'm getting around 5mins doing a lot of big rainbows nag tight tic tocs.

My Protos is a PIG!!!




The Gens Ace 3300mAh makes it a heavy dog.
It weights 1715g with the Voltz 2600 35C, and 1340g dry (stretched).

Michal how does it fly without the boom braces?

[michalp]

It's a modified CFk Boom, its reinforced in the front and back with a second boom in the boom. I know that this sounds freaky but it works really well without any issues.

You can see some Vids on my Youtube Channel :

I also use a Carbonmainshaft that weights only about 14 Gramm or something arround it
This shaft is 20 Gramm lighter then the original MSH mainshaft.....
