ax10 weights.

[minicrawlerguy530]

I just want to know what some of the weights are out there so i have a decent goal. Im trying for under 5 lbs with mine. Im in the mid 5s at the moment and have some more "trimming" to do to get it there. What are some realistic weights?

I'm running 3lbs 8ozs rtr..

But it's not about the weight. Build it and crawl it. As you change wheels for lighter ones or get aluminum hardware, cross braces, etc, etc, over time. The weight comes off and it just ends up what it ends up.

Some guys like light, some are shooting for heavier.

IMO. The biggest gain in weight savings/performance gain is wheels. If ur running VP DH wheels, they are heavy and hard on the drive train.
Lighter wheels allow everything to work/perform better.

Sweet baby jesus thats light. I have never had a light rig before so i figured why not. I am running my mayhem monsters on it right now, and i think i have a couple other ways i can shave weight

[winnerone23]

I bet you loose a pound with changing them wheels out!

If you're talking a stockish AX10 chassis, you'll never get that low. If you're talking an aftermarket chassis, 4lbs is easily attainable.

This ax10. Harley chassis, titanium lowers, graphite uppers, carbon fiber servo mount, delrin tubes, plastic knuckles(for now) and cs. Delrin duuuuuuuude d mount for the rear. Stock axial rear axle. Hd over/unders. Hr spool front, iron cross back. Stainless tie rod and drag link. I am debatin on carbon fiber or delrin wheels to help drop my weight. Oh and mips.

There's a few sporty rig's down under running around 1400 grams, once u get used to it i think it's a big advantage.

Yep, that's about it.. Lol.. The CCC tranny and a HH 400 puller dropped 7-8oz just right there (for me). It's Amazing how smooth it is too!
