The Phoenix is already really heavy. This doesn't look like that much added weight to me.

Great fabrication work and brazing!

The bumper looks great!

Great stuff! Thems some clean joints.

Thanks fellas

I've lost weight in the rear by removing fuel cell and have plans for weight loss in other areas.

Bumper only weighs 1oz more than stock and it gives scale points I'm looking for in a class 2 build

Bam!! For weight loss and better departure angle


Also started on the body, have big plans for it, shrinkage and paint

Nearly 8Lbs for a plastic axled kit seems like a pig to me.

When are you going to update this thread? Because that's by far the most modded phoenix build I've seen so far with the original chassis. Awesome work so far, buddy

[distinctive pd]

Thank you!

Turns out the Phoenix as a whole is awesome but not my cup of tea.

Parted it out and kept some of the parts for other projects.
