yeah, but, at least they are shooting to do this right.

I am wondering if this would make a good factory lightweight buggy setup to try. Looking at whats in the pics, you could probably go even lighter with a carbon fiber shock tower setup (assuming they beef up the towers as the stock ones just by the pics look thin), and if the plastics are good, could go with plastic carriers instead of the alloy.

After seeing what some guys are doing with other vehicles that are lightened up, I wonder if you could run a 550 sized motor and run the 2S lipos in Parallel. You could then go with lower mah lipos, say a 3200mah in parallel would give very nice runtime. And the weight savings would be a lot there.

Who sells robitronics in the USA?
