Hello all,

Im currently running a Hyper 8.5 Love it.. Basically Im running a V-Spec JP-4 Savox Servo's ect.. and Im wondering ways to Lighten the buggy up a little. Or it it worth trying, Will the effects make the buggy less durable.
I have seen pic's of people drillng holes in everything.. like mud gurads.. chassis braces..ect.. Are there some different ways to lighten it up, without making it more likely to break..?? A easy one is holes in the side mud guards, but here in the Uk.. its normally pritty wet/muddy..so that could end up.. more mud on the car making it even heavier??? any thoughts? cheers

Hey, I ran a Hyper 8.5 last year and mine was actually a converted Hyper 8. If you want to save some weight you could run the Hyper 8 rear chassis brace and center diff posts, that would eliminate the massive center chassis brace. I haven't heard of anybody having issues with the Hyper 8 bending the chassis, so I wouldn't think you would have any problems unless you are routinely casing out a 40ft. quad Otherwise I would have to agree with the others saying that you should go to the ofna forum index, you'll find all the info you need.
