Only 4.4kg?!?! That's amazing. Well, mine with bigger shocks, heavier batts, heavier motor, heavier shock towers, heavier (longer) chassis only weighs slightly more than 1kg more than yours

.

Will be nice to watch your video footage, to see what your truck is capable of.

...3 days of rain scheduled :(

...truck is dry and has been brushed clean...

...Kyosho 10 spokes are in and will get the Dirtbonz soon...

...HPI Upper Arm Braces are in, (from the conversion set) and have been deannodized but are a little more involved than was previously thought...they look and work really well though...its weird not seeing that big bulky arm on there...

...Working on the video that i HAVE...Its not great and its all far away but it will give you a little idea of the madness :D

...Thanks for following this MetalMan...Seems like you and me are the only ones in on it ;)

Hey Bit, so you got the upper arm adapter to lower the roll center?? That was fast... you just mentioned the other day that you were thinking about it hahah... But the "big bulky arm".... arent we talking about the upper arm here? That thing is skinny!

...thanks Gdot...Speechless in the sense that they are overawed with my brilliance i hope :D Mindyou its just 'another' build of which there are many so its all good...

...Its all relative Joey ;) the stock arm is forked but now its just two chunky ends and the tierod from the hpi adjustable arms...i think i have one savage end and one hellfire end on each piece...LOOKS fantastic..Probabaly not much of a weight saving...

...pics later when i can get some decent ones but i needed to add 5mm of 3m spacers to the screw that holds the upper arm and I had to fab some 17mm long 4mm spacers to fit on the stock upper pin...As i dont use Savage X towers i lose the little plastic piece of the tower that pin slides into...

...Also added another screw to secure the tower to the bulhead...I need pics i know...
