I don't know if this was covered, but I have been running a SC10 4x4 Lite which has been modified to be as light as possible. I got it down to 5lbs 6oz and I loved the way it handles now. But what I wanted to mention was I just added a Losi Hi Performance body which is almost 3oz lighter than the Proline body I was using, which puts me right at the ROAR minimum. The Losi body features a bunch of vents which reduces the parachute effect (which is magnified when you go lite) and the lighter weight lowers the CG. My buddies said it wouldn't fit on my SC10 4x4 and they are right if you run stock because the rear mounts end up in the vent cutouts. I got around this by turning the rear mounts around, body fits perfectly.




Losi Hi Performance body, originally designed for the Losi 22SCT, lots of vents.


Top circle shows the mounting holes with the mounts turned around (facing forward) the bottom circle shows where they would have been in the stock position.


Body mounts turned around so the body would fit.


I paid a few more bucks for the pre-cut body, which saves you a lot of work.
