Looks good, parts are very well priced (about the same price of the JQ stuff here in the UK). Let us know how they hold up. Last edited by Chris S on Sun Nov 02, 2008 10:14 am; edited 1 time in total

Same here...I was all about the overall weight loss at first, and then started weighing each item, but after the chassis was already cut...

Someone else??

I have a 2+2 chassis, I'm stripping it at the moment. I'll let you know in a few hours when its all apart. Rob/Beuz, what are the weights of your cars. I'm at 7lbs 16oz. So far I've done the following: -JQ parts -Cut centres out of wishbones -Drilled chassis braces -Drilled ackerman arms -Kortz upper arm mod -Radio plate trimmed -Shortened screws (aluminium wont last long on the tracks I race at) -Steering servo holder trimmed I'm yet to cut the rear of the chassis, use Ti Hingpins or use Lipo. I will be swapping to a smaller battery, as I'm using a 5aa sized battery.

Rob/Beuz, what are the weights of your cars. I'm at 7lbs 16oz. So far I've done the following:
-JQ parts
-Cut centres out of wishbones
-Drilled chassis braces
-Drilled ackerman arms
-Kortz upper arm mod
-Radio plate trimmed
-Shortened screws (aluminium wont last long on the tracks I race at)
-Steering servo holder trimmed
I'm yet to cut the rear of the chassis, use Ti Hingpins or use Lipo. I will be swapping to a smaller battery, as I'm using a 5aa sized battery.

Mine is just over 7lbs 2oz...It required alot of work, and alot of LW parts. I (thanks to Ofna) have most everything that is available on my buggy to take the weight out.

I am in the process of putting some weight back onto the buggy. I've been struggling with the rear end being on the sketchy side. I'm going to go back to the upper a arm front end, and start using the CNC rear uprights again. This will put a couple of onces back on the buggy, but I feel it will benefit the overall performance of the buggy...

The 5-cell AA battery pack is very heavy. You will loose alot of weight by switching to either a LiPo setup, or even just using the 1700mAh standard reciever battery...

Hope this helps...

Have Fun...Burn Nitro...
