Tail weight for a twin

[DON MAHER]

Guys,

What is a good tail weight for a 15-16lb twin 80? This is my first attempt at building a heat racing twin and I don't have a clue what would be in the ball park. :wacko:

Hey Brian,

if you are running no ski or center shoe or rears i would say keep it light.. otherwise i would try to have a 60 - 65% in the rear but that is me. take that for what it is.

Mike,

Yes the twin was built for Hobart. That is if it works without any major changes.

Jerry,

The tanks are not big enought

Mike was hoping to be able to get back to Hobart this year. A couple of weeks ago he was showing the tub for a new twin he's building.

JD

 

[Mike Hughes]

Yes Dave. Been working hard on getting this boat done. I started it back in the fall of 12 but had a lot of stuff going on in life that took me away from it. I just got back on it hot and heavy the last 4 weeks or so. Rigging the radio box as we speak. Hopefully drive line parts will show up soon and can finish that as well. Was hoping to get it wet this coming weekend but that aint gonna happen. Maybe 3 weeks from now. Lets hope.

Thanks
