I think that with 1/8 components a 1/5 size vehicle can be made that stays well under 20lbs.

The HCR kit for the 1.5 maxx was my inspiration and the Kershaw kit is tempting, but I won't buy it. The build is the fun for me, I want to build as much as possible with this one and save some cash too.
My Erevo ended up weighing in at 15.5lbs, baja 5t body, brake line rollcage, mmm2200 combo, 5s 6000 25c, LST (lighter 2nd gen design) tires on RPM stablemaxx. And that was with stock, not aluminum tierods, pushrods, etc. Plus the chassis was heavier than it needed to be because of my lack of certain tools and the bolted together design I had to use. Probably could've gotten it under 15lbs though, the 5t body weighed about a pound.
