Weighed my current set up and I know the trend is for a lighter rig and mine is sitting at 5lbs 8.5oz ready to run. What's your RTR weight? |

With full knuckle weights but no 'in wheel' weights for the VP wheels, i'm at 5.4lbs. The weight changes depending on if i have the Rovers, Sedonas or BCs on nd which wheels I run. But 5.4lbs is right where i'm sat now |

5lb 10oz, never handled better. Lighter is not my thing, feels too loose on the rocks. |

5.66lbs (0.89 lbs of front/rear knuckle wt, Rovers w/o internal wt.) Seems like the sweet spot. Gone to 5.96 lbs with Sedonas and she ain't the same.

OK I switched to SLWs with Boss Claws and swapped the two .100 rings for a single .300 ring on the knuckles and the running weight is 5lbs 3oz |
