Means light weight. It's made out of 1/16" Delrin instead of 1/8".

Your new build is coming along nicely, my friend! If those shocks feel like they have an air bubble then run them right-side up. With my experience they just don't act right in the upside down position. An external limiter helps too. The Axial scaler shocks have a bunch of travel!

thank ya,good to know about the shocks..
i did end up changing them to right side up..
in the upside down position it had a bit of stuck almost binding feel to them.

got all my old electrics in it till i get my other micro sidewinder and futaba radio..

just waiting on parts to finish it up and get it rolling.

just weighs in over 4lbs as of now..thats including the front 2 wheels.

if i can find a deal on a 4pk ill go that route..
if not ill go with the 4pl.

ive used my friends 4pk's on their rigs and i like it..
havent tried a 4pl yet..so im still on the fence about it.

I personally have a DX3R, 4PL, and a 4PK..

When it comes to running my 2.2 crawler I choose the 4PL over any of the three.

I only use my 4PK for the super and the DX3R for the Mini...

Killer looking build so far brother. The chassis...just like everything from Chaotic...will not disappoint.

Really? That's interesting. Why not run the PL for both the Super & 2.2?
