Have any of you fellas tried putting your rc8Be on a diet?
Mines pretty much stock apart from ft cnc knuckles, but I'm thinking of using all of the lightweight drivetrain parts (might save 50 or 60 grams, but it's rotating mass) a lundsford screw kit (at about $300 aud delivered that gunna hurt) and the GHEA worlds kit. I'd love to try a carbon chassis, but at it's current weight I'd be worried about it's longevity.
Has anyone else got some ideas on light weight parts that are available?
Smokey
I saw that price on the screws the other day...there has got to be another/cheaper screw kit!??? too rich for my blood! Anyone know of a cheaper kit/solution?
I'm about to order the lighter drivetrain parts myself.
