My only issue with maxx parts is the relative lack of strength. Howver if you were to make your oven metal bulks, use rpm arms with the hd front knuckels and a true track rear szetup and something like an 1/8 buggy steering setup you would have a light weight suspension. Couple that to a carbon fibre chassis (U shape and thick-ish) and you may be able to keep the weight way down.

I had planned to use 40 series wheels/tires for the rear, and the lpr truggy tires and wheels for the front to give the narrow/wide buggy look. The boddy of the XLB is boxy, and I think it would look good that way.
