Here is some more pics:

Thats not the body I plan on running but it sure look nice too me.
See if you guys can recognize some of the different parts I am using. The aluminum wheel are what I used to do the alignment so they wont be used. I also still need to make a top plate out of 3mm carbon fiber. I was thinking of cutting the front skid to reduce a little more weight. and straightening out the rear for a wheely bar. So far it weighs 7.6 pounds with the aluminum wheels and batts, no front servo and electronics. I really think its going to be sub 9# when its done.
Some of the parts you probably wont notice or see are 7075 aluminum pillow balls all the way around, way lighter than steel. Titanium turnbuckles which I might switch to aluminum. The ue diffs have 6 spider gears, I have 8 spider but I figure the 6's will hold fine and are a little lighter. RPM big bearing axle carriers also.

I am going to cut this mount and re-clock it so the motor sits lower.

NEU 1515 1.5d 2700kv I picked up on the bay. I Hope it works

Add about 1.250" to the ride height.
