Hey guys,
My EVo's are still ripping it up, quick question though, is anyone else having weight problems with the standard evo?
My surikan weighs it at around 1470 grams, but my standard weighs in at 1560-70 depending on battery. I think I might have to invest in some Titanium screws and the such, but I can't see where the extra weight is, this is what I have in the stand evo.
Evo 111 Chassis
Johnno 540
Futaba S9550 Short Digital Servo
Futaba HRS Receiver
Futaba MC800 Pro Speedie (the small sucker)
Fukuyama 3300 Cells
Chrysler 300M Body shell
My surikan edition has all that except for the speedie which is a LRP Super SPort I think, one of em anyway which is bigger and heavier. Any ideas on lowering the weight?

I would also like to see how much weight can be saved by using titanium turnbuckles and screws. My Evo now has a total weight of 1517g with the following components
Evo 3 Chassis
Tamiya 11T Super Modified
Quantum Competition ESC
Schulze Alpha 440 Receiver
JR DS8025 Servo
GP3300 Cells
Tamiya Modena Body
I removed the plastic battery mount and replaced it with two aluminium pieces. And I have the alloy upper arm mounts from the Surikarn. I hope to get closer to the 1500g barrier when I replace the one way with another ball diff.
