Bit take in also that yours has the alloy shock bodies and the oil in them shocks add up the weight

...I am slowly getting closer to the set up that i want...LOTS of titty screws and more carbon being fitted all the time...I am also hoping that the MAMBA 25 and the AON BL will take off some of the weight of the 1:10 gear thats in there now...

...i think i will stick with the 1:10 rims though...I still doubt that i can get close to BOOM's 623 though...

...Fully loaded...titanium in all sorts of nooks and crannies, stock rims, mamba 25, AON 4900, LOTS of 3Racing parts...

...Whats NOT dont yet...TWO upper shock bolts are still 3x20 when i can use 3x18 because i reduced the spacer to 5mm from 6mm :D the slipper shaft is still stock but titanium shaft is in stock...Still need to REMOVE the spacers from the shox...REAR platform; the one that sits over the rear diff, needs to be cut out ala CakeMonster style (One18th.com)...So I can still drop a couple of grams...Looking at getting it to around 610 grams and still as strong as stock...

When you say "lots of 3Racing parts" to what are you referring? What does 3Racing have out right now besides shock towers?

...all sorts of stuff...I have in the titty buckles, titty shafts, carbon front plate over the front diff, titty torque buckles front and rear, I have some locally done hinge pin plates which are REALLY nice...

...i have CAW towers which actually ADD a bit so i had CARBON towers i would be lighter but i would be broken ;)

bit.....why are u running a regular esc? cant the stock handle the x-speed motor?

...It seemed like a good idea at the time? They were on special? I like German-made? No real reason...of course the stock gear can handle the Xspeed...In fact there was no REAL reason why i swapped out electronics...I just needed an outlet to belay the taxman ;)
