| I hacked up some Panthers I wanted to try something different. I was going to swap out to a set of full panthers this morning for compare vids but forgot the tools I guess I'll have to go back out with the vid cam again . So anyway Patty, do you not like my tires or somethin? If not I guess we might have to take this outside |

Well, while I'm waiting for new parts to finish up the final production build I started working on my personal extreme light weight comp build...which is really what this thread is all about. It too will use the new side plates on their way to me now. So anyway, a few things I'm doin for my personal build to drop some weight includes: Removing excess material from the skid plate, Making a near weightless dig servo mount to use a much smaller dig servo, Lightening the motor plate (or perhaps make a custom super light weight one to drop the motor into the skid pocket ), Grinding excess material from the axles, Pulling the Sidewinder and replacing it with something a lil smaller, and a few other things. First things first...here's the modified skid plate. We milled .040" off the top of the entire skid and then milled a pocket .220" into the top of it. Starting weight, right at 1.6 ounces...final weight, .7 ounces Now just a bit of tapering to do in the bottom center to remove catch points and it will be ready to install. With that, I'm gonna call it a night. Been hard at it since about 7 Friday mornin...but these projects just won't finish themselves |

has anyone tried moa on one yet? Looks like it would hold up okay. maybe a little thicker version to offset the extra axle weight. I am very interested in these frames looks sick
