Lightest buggy?
 

Yes I know lightest doesn't necessarily mean fastest, but I was just wondering which of the new buggies is the lightest in stock form. Thanks.

Xray 808

In stock form the Xray 808, I'd say. Guys I know have optioned them up a fair bit to make them more stronger, which also ends up adding weight.

Well....post a weight of the 808 then! I haven't weighed an 808 yet. Ready to go with out fuel here are some weights from my scale:

rc8 -about 7lb 12oz
8ight-about 7lb 10oz
Jammin x1x- about 7lb 14.5oz
GS cl-1 (advanced?)-about 7lb 15oz
Mugen MBX 5R-about 7lb 12oz

Obviously lots of variables, but you get the idea. The MBX-6 is supposed to be around 7lbs 6oz ready to go with out fuel from what I saw on Neo Buggy. My Jammin is lighter than any of those above though;)

808 weight unfueled and stock ready to roll;
3.25kg-7lb 8.818oz (lots of 8's for the 808)
HitecTG servos
GRP tuned motor and pipe
1400NimH Rx pack
Spektrum 2 Rx

My MP9 with a large lipo weighs 7lbs 5 ounces without fuel ready to race otherwise.

Thats light!


So is this!

I think that the hyper9 will be around 7.2lb with everything in it, including gas...

The O'Donnel is under 7lbs.

same as the ugly Hyper9 but... with out gas and other thing maybe... I don't know..

My 808
max power 3 port (my indoor motor)
dynamite 053
futaba brushless servos
stock---(dont need to many options)
ofna lightweight rims clay switches
stock body--paint (no wrap)
lipo reciever pack
and 1/4 tank of fuel still in it
7Lbs 3.33 oz
thanks

oops but I do have the pivot options front and rear

The wt.of the car without electronics,motor/pipe,fuel and battery is the only true test. I would guess the rc8,mbx6,xray,losi, kyoshomp9,D8 lightest to heaviest in that order....just a guess though. The lightest should be the cars with the carbon towers and the thinnest chassis. Not sure where the hyper 9 would fall in this test.

X-Ray 808 is the lightest I've seen race ready...

The Xray 808 is the lightest stock buggy on the market. 3200-3300 grams running. When people weigh cars they always forget the tire and foam weight can make a big difference. So If your going to start weighing cars make sure you use the same tires.
