Ok guys, let's share this in public:
- replaced front and rear upper arms and hubs with another brand arms and turnbuckles; rear hubs need also slightly longer rear universals
- replaced most screws with titanium ones
- have a magnesium head on my engine and lipo receiver battery without the standard switch
- using other brand diffs instead of the stock ones (haven't actually compared to the new CEN diffs with plastic housing and crosspins, might be equal), though I'm currently using BBF all the way which are not lighter (+50 grams)
- have an aluminium rear center drive shaft (can also have in front) and I'm using a lighter front CVD (than the stock) as it is angled
- have the Matrix short race chassis
- have smaller and lighter shocks (not big bore)
- CEN wing and carbon rear tower (CNC in front)
- lightweight wheels (with proline tires, molded insert)
- no other CNC parts except the servo saver arm, plastic suspension blocks etc.
- carbon steering plate also saves few grams and so does the front carbon tower (-8 grams) but beware of the durability on rougher tracks
This is meanwhile we are waiting for the re-matrix to arrive.
