Serum,

Can you outline what you've done to get down to 7lbs with 4S? That's just unreal!

My Revo with Maxamps 8000 is about 10lbs 2oz, or about 8lbs 10oz without batteries. I'm running the 40 series proline bowties on 23mm adapters, custom conversion (Revo chassis, emaxx battery trays). I've got the traxxas Al pushrods/turnbuckes, Al pivot balls. My servo is a little heavy maybe, an airtronics '357 w/heatsink. I also have the gorilla single speed conversion with an Al output shaft. Oh yea, I have the Novak HVMaxx 6.5.

What can I do to shed 3 lbs?!?! I'm thinking about maybe the Gorilla CF chassis kit, but I can't imagine that would save much weight, would it?

Thanks!

-Rob
