I want to get the CF parts and lighter 3.2mm bump chassis and possibly go with a 3s combo to hopefully save on parts ? Just a lot of money to hopefully save some money in the long run ?? Sorta confused what to do.

Oh I have one in my box of goodies as you know! I've had this particular setup since Nov and not had a single issue, yet.
The idea of you in a pole dancing outfit just made me puke in my mouth a little...

I'm sure lightning the over all weight will help this isse greatly. As I mentioned I would like to go with CF and the lightned chassis and a 3s combo. It would be really nice to shed 2+lbs from this format. I already have nearly a 1K invested already. Another several hundred is hard to justify for a club racing but I know it'll help. Just torn ?

You won't be happy with the result, I drove a buggy with all the Cf and ran 3s It was very nimble and fast but any little mistake or rut it was on its lid, 1/8 seem to run better with weight.
Why do you think Losi converted their 1/8 into a short course(pretty much) More stable with extra weight.

The RC8 has been described as a lazy handling car which makes it easy to drive but not nearly as agile and quick as the Hyper. The hyper will turn and jump circles around the rc8b.

My 9E is roughly 9lbs and my 10T is 6.9lbs (2650&3s)and it get's bounced around a lot more and it's nearly not as "forgiving" as the 9E. SO how do I help with breaking arms besides turn perfect overnight with my driving skills ??

As I said, I'm human. Yeah I land a bit off ocassionally and but never one any wheel landings or cartwheels etc. My buggy handles exceptionally well and I'm trilled with it but when I do F up, I pay the price with a day ending crash. It just gets tiresome.
EDIT; Have buddy with a Losi 8E, he bounces that buggy off everything and has some seriously ugly landings and NEVER breaks anything.
