My truck rtr should be ~9 #'s with a 14" wheelbase. Its definatly more arrowdynamic and lower to the ground with the duh short towers and revo shocks. I would think 1/2 the weight should take 1/2 the power to hit my goal.Not too mention my foam tires are not going to explode or fail at speed hopefully.

I wonder how much help putting tape over drag items might be? Such as underneath your battery trays, tape over/under the arms, seal the edge of the body to the chassis, etc. Might be worth a few mph.

ps.....hmmm, how about a big piece of shrink wrap over the rear a-arms...just don't get it too tight. There is just soooooo much drag on these MT's.
