Wow .... This is crazy .... Not once did I state there was an issue with any DLUX product ... And yes I have used rear weights before .. Didn't help nor hurt me and my " easy coast driving " .... Simply stating what's the point of light axles if you're weighing them down doesn't constitute trash talking someone's product ..... It's asking a general question as to why .... At that point they aren't " super lite anymore !! I have hundreds of dollars in dlux products ..... So why would it seem like an attack ? This is an xr thread ....floki lives in Norway so he won't be coming to botw to prove weights work ... I'm not flying there to prove they don't .... I have no reason to ... I asked a general statement as to why you'd weigh down light axles ..... You have made a point others have made their point and animosity between vendors has nothing to do with my point .... I wasn't challenging any ones products or driving skills or videos or documentation I asked a question ....why? .... And I get all this ..... Nice Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Pretty sure it doesn't matter if your rig weighs 10 pounds or 2 pounds, as long as it works for the driver. That being said, if it wasn't for the vendors we have any of this wouldn't be possible. I'm building a new rig and I have no idea what it weigh, though I do know it will work for me!!!! Keep up the the good work Purp Later, Farmer |

Different strokes for different folks. Run what makes YOU happy. I run rear weights.. Does my rig perform differently than rigs without it, yup. Can I still sling my rig and float it like before, yup. Am I satified, yup. Trends are great and all, but the ones who stray from the path seem to always be ahead of the game. Carry on Purp, nice strawweight rig you have here. |

The short time i had my rig in the 3 lb range i felt the car was almost undrivable. It would just not stick lines the way 4lb 12oz xr was able to walk. I had to approach everything differently and not necessarily in a good way. As i slowly added weight back in i didn't think it got good again until about 4lbs 6oz. The difference between my xr and super lites..... the majority of the weight added is where i want it to be.... out wide and low. Last edited by Curcal; 04-03-2015 at 12:15 AM. |

Its def a different driving style in my opinion and takes some work to tune it and find the happy spot. My old RT liked the 4lb number for a while. Once I dropped below that it didn't work well for me but once I learned some more tuning things it helped go back down. Then when I built my Sniper it was down at the 3.5lb mark and liked that. Both chassis' won their very first time out for me. The RT actually started just over 5lbs but got better as I learned and the weight came off. But like you said, weight where you want it and that's one big key. Heavy or light, if your happy with it then keep wheeling | |

That's one of the.reasons i like this hobby the most. You give 10 guys the same parts and their rigs will be similar but each unique it their own way to fit the driver.

I changed from a xr10 with a chaotic switch chassis and vanquish wheels to my reptile and carbonfiber wheels, and like Purp I also found the reptile a awsome chassis to crawl with I can do anything with that rig,,that beeing said I also changed from original rovers to narrowed voodoos when I started using the reptile, and maby there is a connection between narrower and softer tires and a lighter rig. I love the xr10/reptile and will never sell it even though I now drive berg/dlux and the sudu chassis and I think the xr will be standing on the shelf this season |
