Hey guys I have started a new mission to get my fgx as light as possible. I was wondering what you guys weigh and some of the tricks you have used to lighten it up. Interested an stock fgx numbers and all of the conversions. This is my current set up.

Current weight 1161

Fgx rabbit conversion
Novak edge esc
reedy sonic 21.5
Aluminium motor mount and bukkhead
aluminium f104 camber mount
crc shorty lipo
spectrum low profile servo
f104 body
All wiring as short as possible
Novak 30mm esc cooling fan for the motor
No extra weight added and the car is balanced.

I am hoping I can get to 1140 today after I switch the gear diff for a ball diff. Any other areas I may be able to save weight? Hoping to hit 1100
