is power racer the smallest rig?

[nitro98 0]

Is power racer really the smallest container? I will use a 98 nitro and 113 reserve? Any one is jumping one?

Ever seen a Voodoo 000? That shit is tiny!

You won't fit a 113 in that, tho.

Is the question "what is the smallest rig?" or "what is the smallest rig that will fit my pd113 and 98 nitro?"

[PhreeZone 20]

Exactly! The Vector3 V303 is too small in the reserve tray for that 113. There are lots of containers that hold things smaller then then 113. They hold things like the PD-R 99 and 106.

Arvel (bsbdeath) and Man Whore jump one of the smallest ones I've seen(75 main). Don't know what R he has in it. What ever size chutes you decide to go with, Jump Shack will build you a container to fit your chutes.

Jump Shack has made power racers as small as 75/75. To give you an idea of how small and light Jump Shack can make rigs the racer tandem generally comes in at around 38lbs.

What reserve is a 75?

What reserve is a 75?

Not mine!Don't know, it didn't say. It just listed the cubic inches and that is what would fit. I think Howard is jumping a 98/75 in that red power racer that he has.

Stay safe,

I jump a VOOO.

89 Stiletto. 109 PD reserve.\ with Cypress

Depending on the reserve the 113 might be a bit tight.(pack Value)

Maybe a VOO. Contact RI to see what rig would be best, if you are interested.http://www.rigginginnovations.com
The Voodoo isn't the smallest looking rig but very low profile.

The attached pic is the VOOO. And I'm not the tallest guy so the rig looks a bit bigger on me.

If you want the smallest possible rig, forget about a PR 113, because it was never the smallest reserve on the market.
Both Precision and PISA built 120s that packed smaller, had less fabric and were introduced earlier.
Precision later introduced its Micro Raven 109-M.
Performance Designs recently introduced a PR-099 reserve.
If you really want small pack volume, but a Techno 97 reserve from Parachutes de France.

ummm, PD doesn't make a 109 reserve, they make a 106. Now lots of poeple get this wrong, but you're SPONSORED BY THEM!!

I'm suprised the 106 fits in the 000. I thought it was only for the sub 100 reserves.

Ah give him a break ... I think he likes to add 3 to certain numbers. I think 5'8" is a mistype as well

It is a PD 106R My mistake.

Smallest rig I've ever seen was an older racer worn by Cliff Alfiche one of my AFF instructors, if it wasn't for the leg straps theres no way you'd ever guess it was a rig.

Thus far, I believe the Power Racer is still the smallest container. We haven't made the GA Power Racer (250 cu. in.)in years because when we first made it, it was simply too small for any existing canopies. The bottom line is - send us the smallest canopy you feel safe jumping, we'll throw it in the volume cylinder to get an acurate measurement of it, and then we have the ability to scale the container as small or as LARGE as is required.

Thanks Lou!!! You know I no Man Ho!!! I be FIXED!!

My Power Racers are 300/300 and hold my PDR-113 and STL-107's.

These are pictures of them, they are the same size, but the lighting makes the "Dark One" look smaller.

Smallest rig I've seen personally (so obviously there are smaller ones) is a mirage G3 with a Vengeance 89 and a Phantom 22' round reserve. Its pretty tiny! These are the parachutes it was made to fit but I don't know the size code for the container.

Edit to add... actually, the same guy has a homemade harness and container. The only metal on it is the grommets, pins, and 3 rings. No joke. The leg straps were not adjustable, the chest strap was fastened by some kind of stiffener type buckle (no metal). there was no cutaway handle, just the bits of yellow cable up near the three rings. The reserve was a throwout pilotchute. This rig weighed in at around 10lbs with two parachutes in it! Oh........and uh he put like 1000 jumps on it. And these included a couple cutaways I think.

I was impressed when "lowpull" said he is jumping a 10.5 (complete with 2 canopies) pound power racer. Probably a tiny stiletto, not sure what the reserve would be. I imagine it would not have hip rings or the hefty stainless hardware...
