Generally, it doesn't matter how thick the Lexan is so long as you cut deep enough to allow you to snap it clean, BUT the Vortex Lexan is really thick and it's angles make it a bit challenging. Jus have to go over the cuts a few times.

I had to rebuild my shocks last night after losing the oil out of one (broken E clip below the piston) I put in 1.6 pistons all around, green/white springs and 32.5/27.5 oils....good starting point? Thinking about switching to 1.3 pistons front and 30wt rear oil depending on how it drives tonight

measure your spur gear weights, mass of the shaft isn't going to do anywhere near as much as weight off the spur.

I talked to my sponsored buddy, who switched from the vhs or the now stock slipper for the factory team kit, to the avid slipper, and he said he saved aprox 8g now the mip puck system i heard is suppose to be pretty durable and also about 1/3 the weight of the stock system, so between all 3 of those its a huge dramatic change thats like 45g total of rotating mass he also mentioned he thought that 1g of rotating mass= 5g of stationary mass which is really a bit change i dont think that scales accurately at some point but i bet if you will have a lot cooler motor temps, and a lighter buggy
Buy the losi arm for whatever brand servo you have. Probably a 23T or 25T servo arm.
