I drilled the lower arm and used U7938 chassis posts as stoppers on my Eclipse 4. I can't figure out why this is not an issue with my Eclipse 3.
We run USGT motors and SJT rubber tires. I'm currently at 756 grams. Here is what I have done to save weight to my E4:
- C/F chassis
- All titanium screws, kingpins & axles
- GensAce Redline Battery w/ 4mm plugs
- 18-gauge wire
- Core RC C/F spool
- Sanwa servo
- Montech Akura body w/ light paint
- CRC front & rear body mounts
