How much does your bully weigh?

I was checking out the new xr10 at rojo this last week end...bender runs his xr10 at just about 6.5lbs...maybe the heavier rig still works better?? Every time I lighten mine up a bunch I slowly at more weight because it does not perform how I like.
I'm at 7lbs right now.

thats a very good point. ive been thinking about adding some lately too mainly to get that stable feeling back. the light rig is fun and i can do some crazy lines that the heavier guys have trouble with but its not quite as predictable as before... i just dont see myself running a heavy rig with the xr10 bc i dont want to be breaking every other day with all the plastic "thumbsup" hopefully it works out. if not ill always have the ol faithful bully to fall back to:):)
 
5lb 4oz rtr working to shave a tad more then add it back slowly where needed. Although it does work good now.

I would also like to see how you got it that light


has to be plastic wheels and no weight in the wheels....right?

I'm down to 6.5, all lightweight stuff, if i get rid of all the wheel weight up front, I can drop it down to 6.0, but then it dosen't keep the front planted for me enough

6.5:shock: You'd better get a diesel to pull that up to the camp ground!:ror:
 
I'm at 7.8 lbs with light axles,1600 3s,XR10 body.... RTR.. but I don't think it matter as much as how much your rig weigh !! It's where the weight are place on your rig. IMO

Yep plastic wheels, no weight, shaved light weight axles, my own chassis, and more. There are a couple more ounces I want to get out of it. It works very well now, but I might slowly add weight in the wheels as needed (help with sidehills). I'll get some pics up later. The same rig use to be close to 8lbs, but works much better being lighter.
 
I have mine at 6.7lbs. Dual FXR's in a T1E rockshow chassis. Max amps 1100 3c batt. Machined rear, cast front.
 
I'm down to 5 lb 11 oz from 5 lb 13 oz. Went to SCX-10 shocks and ti hardware from RC4WD. My main concern is losing weight from above the axle center line.
 
Almost right at 6 lbs, and still dropping. Light weight gear cases are shaved, gears are drilled, cast rear tubes are turned, cast fronts are massaged. Running Delrin Beadlocks and REVO links, Aluminum Big bores up front, stock Slash fronts on the rear.

IF I were to switch to puller motors and light weight tubes F-N-R, I'd be in the lighter side of 5 lbs. sure.
 
5 lbs, 12 oz, surprised myself by this. I do have plastic wheels and the Bully Lite axles, chaotic demon chassis, Turnigy 1500 3S battery. It's gonna get a bit heavier I suspect after I get the aluminum wheels.
