Wow, your buggy is that light? Makes me wonder how much mine weighs.

Mine weighs the same.

Yep, imagine how light a newer buggy, like the rc8 or the losi 8 could be. May be able to get it under 7lbs. I do not really know how much lighter this one could go. I could have a lighter servo mount, and use a different front chassis brace, as the servo mount makes up some of the front brace.

My battery tray, and esc mount are very lightweight. Maybe a carbon fiber chassis, or some ultralight wheels/tires?

Don't know guys how you can make a buggy so light. I've an Hyper 7 pro ( i know it's not the lightest buggy) and without any electronic in it, it's 6.2 lbs.
Put a Neu and a 5000mAh 4s with a controller and servo, and i'am over 8 lbs

I have a hyper 7 too, and it is heavier. I have the RCPD side trays and run a pair of trakpower lipos in series. I will weigh it today and post up the results.

OK James, because i'am not sure if i'll keep the mugen MBX5T in brushless mode or if i'll convert the Hyper 7 pro instead and put the new O.S. .28XZ in the mugen.
I would like to have the lighter truck in brushless mode, but i would like to gice a try to the mugen truggy on the track.

Because the mugen with my 1515, 5000mAh, 4s flightpower and mgm 16018, with badland tire weight more than 10lbs.........

I just bought a hyper 7 with the RCPD kit on ebay and the seller mentioned your screen name. I wonder if I just bought your old hyper 7?

I actually sold it to you. And yes that was his old buggy that I bought from him.

Thanks for buying(trading) the buggies, I was really not using them...

Plus I really like the hyper8, with the 6s setup it is much lighter and nimble than the 4s setup I ran in the hyper7.
