You should be able to easily hit that. With my v1 viper I got it under 4lbs rtr with a 4s batt.

Any updates on the XR to share with the Internet? The new Viper chassis seems to be making its way out to a lot of eager hands. Have any of the new builds that are starting to emerge influenced your crawler at all?

I'm gonna start my light weight kick soon. The goal is 4.5 lbs. Other then that, nothing special over what I already have.

Finished 25th at ECC with it. The trucks works well and I don't want to mess with what works.

Good luck with the weight loss. Hopefully you don't lose any performance when you start dropping ounces.

Absolutely!!! I agree that a light weight rig offers increased performance potential. I just hope you're able to get it tuned to run as well as your current setup. I'm looking forward to seeing what you can do with a light weight setup.

I doubt I'll have the money or resources to pull it off that fast.

I'd like to try that this weekend to see how much of a difference it makes, If they'll clear my knuckle weights.
