Valid point... with one exception; I've been running my truggy with ProLine Badlands on Maximizer beadlocks or ProLine Trenchers. Both are fairly close in weight so well see. Also remember I'm only planning on running under 6S power.

Like I said, we'll see. If it ends up needing alloy bulks, so be it; good news is the 43t ring gear is going to be readily available since its used in the Vorza plus a bunch of HB vehicles.

Oh I forgot to mention that what is pictured is the HTBC9009 10t spiral pinion and the HBC8068 cup from the LightningStadiumSport. I hadnt thought of the Vorza until a bit later, but you can probably use the 67499 10t spiral pinion and the 103663 cup from the Vorza. The latter should work with the standard Savage drive dogbones but haven't tried them.

As reference...

ProLine Badlands on Maximizer beadlock wheels: 12oz
ProLine Trenchers on Tech 5 wheels: 13 7/8 oz
ProLine Baja BowTies on ProLine SplitSix beadlock wheels: 18 1/8oz

Dont have my BigJoes on Axial beadlocks but pretty sure they are somewhere between Trenchers and Baja Bowties.
