    ...its a LOT of stuff when you list it up like that...I will keep adding to this thread and keep a running score of how the machine is going...

    ...ive been a busy boy...A couple of outstanding revelations mean that I am down to 715 grams RTR'N'R (ready to rock n roll) sans batteries WITH body and clips...I am SO close to going under the elusive 700 mark i can almost taste it...I realise though this WILL happen when i switch back to stock rims and axles over the weekend...

    ...SAD SAD EDIT...no forget that weight...I forgot to put the wing back on

    ...ok...725 RTR

    ...I splurged and did the FULL 12 pcs set of 5.8mm hard balls...I really like them...They feel smoother...

    ...adjusted front shox to TAMIYA Yellow #400 and rear to #300...I want to use all my TAMIYA oil up so i can shift to KYOSHO...I found out to that KYOSHO is pretty close to the TAMIYA weights with the the additional bonus of having HALF weights; ie 350, 450...Will be interesting to play with...

    ...picked up a nice new sink for the MAMBA esc....little wider little longer...little pricier buts it red I couldnt help myself...its a heat sink for a VFS-1 (ESC?) and its made by Alex Racing Design out of Japan...#Z018-R...www.alex.ne.jp...

    ...Took off the CAW rear and replaced it with a 3mm FIVESTAR carbon one...These guys do SUCH nice stuff...Its a shame they arent known outside of Japan...

    ...Lower rear chassis brace is gone as STiffy does all the work up top...

    ...ALL 2.6mm screws removed from chassis and EVERYTHING except 3R center hub is mounted with 3x6 hex head counter sunk screws...I cannot recommend this last mod enough...do it...your chassis will love you for it...

    I ran all anodized aluminum screws last night at the races and didnt have a problem. They are A LOT lighter than SS, Ti, or stock steel screws.
