I'm gonna drill out some holes in that chassis... I guess 8.3Lbs is not so bad... I can live with that...

I think if you swap the chassis to a gmaxx it would save some weight.
How heavy is your chassis to a stocker?
Gmaxx aluminum is the same. As mentioned a carbon would be lighter.
I am not running cvds in mine. I have ti shafts in the middle.

Yea. You might lose some weight by going to a 3.3 slider/knuckle setup.

the chassis is 220 grams.. the cvds and Integy knuckles not that much heavier than the stock sliders maybe only 70 grams or so.......
