Need some estimate weight help...

[vbgagnon]

Hey guys I'm sending my buggy out to beason and I need an estimate weight. So here goes

Hyper 7 w/ 2 bodies
4 wheels/tires
factory starter box
radio
spare parts
2 wings

I'm guessing around 23lbs but am not sure because I don't have a scale (don't get me started about this.) I plan on shipping dhl cause its the cheapest and gets the the quickest. Do you thing @ 23 lbs I should be ok or should i go more or less?

 

[Diver6127]

Are you shipping the battery as well?

 

[vbgagnon]

No batt for starter box, there is a stick pack on the buggy.

 

[Diver6127]

Hmmmm, put everything in the box your shipping. Weigh yourself first (don't lie either) then weigh yourself again while carrying the box.

 

[vbgagnon]

Thats the problem I don't have a scale.

 

[Diver6127]

No weighing scale in the bathroom? hmmmm, don't know what to tell you. Wouldn't they weigh it down at the post office or UPS anyway? or are they picking it up and charging you? If anything, I think 23 pounds should be ok.

to tell ya I've sent out a lot of buggies/trucks and have never have a package over 20lbs even with extra stuff sent with them so

23lbs should be plenty of a estimate

I don't have a scale.

Ill setup a raffle and you can buy all the tickets.

Use 20.00 as an estimate.
Just pack it all up. go to the UPS store and send it. PP the difference to the other person. Your both good traders and know where to find each other.

 

[beason]

do you have any weights around?? or something you know weighs like 20 lbs.. then you can compare

I would call the buggy 8 pounds,tower says there 7.7

The box,hell i dunno exactlly what kinda box it is,weight is against the buggy,if it's lighter minus a pound maybe 2 if it's heavier take a guess on how much

bodys i would call a 1 pound

the misc parts,depending on what it is,1-4 pounds or more,give or take a lil

radio 2 pound if it has batts,if it has no batts then you should be safe to call it one,pending on what radio it is

tires/wheels 1 pound

I'm guess 18 without the starter box weight and weighing the misc parts at 4 pounds.

It came out to a grand total of just over 17 lbs. I was trying to set up shipment with dhl and it wouldn't work. So I went to ups and shipped it. Beason I'll get you the tracking number in a bit.

Reminds me of family guy when peter finds out that his lot isn't part of the US, so he creates his own country of "Petoria" :LoL:

Thats just that much more $$ you can spend on RC's.

How do you get a tracking number? Everytime i ship something there is no tracking number...

 

[vbgagnon]

Who are you shipping with? UPS comes with one, usps you have to request it. Its more of a delivery confermation then tracking but you get a number none the less.

 

[PiErow]

Ups, i will make shure to get it tommorow!

 

[vbgagnon]

My reciept actually had the tracking number on it.

 

[beason]

usps tracking is a joke.. it doesn't change for the same message till after you recieve it.. i like ups cause i can look and be like "ooh my buggy is in mississippi thanks cool" or something

oh and on the cable thing.. i can't get high speed internet without getting cable (to far out for dsl) and one of my other hobbies is (or was ) online gaming, untill i moved and had to give up my dsl.
