In reference to the weights of the optional wood motor mount and collet prop adapter vs. the aluminum motor mount, X-mount for the motor, collar and bolt-on adapter; I just weighed a Great Planes Brushless Mount for Large Motors (GPMG1260) I snagged out of our back storage room and it weighs 126g [4.4 oz.]. If, as Jason says the wood mount weighs 96g, that's a difference of 30g [about an ounce].

FYI...

P.S. I plan to use a Castle Creations Edge Lite 100 ESC on my Sequence 1.20. I can't see anything wrong with using that, can any of you guys? Not sure if I'll use a separate 2S LiFe receiver pack (unregulated), or just to with the BEC in the ESC for Rx power. Will some of you pattern experts offer your opinions/suggestions on these two options. Obviously, foregoing an Rx pack will reduce weight, but if the ESC smokes that's bad! But what are the chances of smoking that ESC in my setup (stock Rimfire 1.20 on 6S).

Thanks.
