Bonjour! Welcome to the forums! I haven't weighed mine yet, but mine's pretty light. What truggy do you have, and what's your brushless system? Any photos?

[Pierre]

my truggy is a hellfire witch warrior 9920 + feigao 8XL + 16 intellect 3800
It is almost finished
thanks

i would guess 4.5 kg?

[Pierre]

no 5.2kg :002:

I have a Losi Muggy that I converted with a MM/Feigao 7XL. With a 4S2P 6Ah pack, it weighs around 13lbs. It's pretty heavy, but you wouldn't know it watching it run. It wheelies and jumps like an animal.

[BrianG]

But what kind of animal? Some animals don't move fast or jump far. ;)

No, while a hippo might look too big, it does a good 30mph on a speedrun.. Don't know how it jumps though.. (i guess it's the landing that's the killer)

Piere;

Considered going lipo?

What tires/wheels are you using?

[Mr.lst]

I would think that is lands just fine, team losi does alot of homework before releasing their products and that is close to stock weight with a nitro engine in it.

my hellfire is full origin
You do not think that with the 8XL it will have not many speed?

o.k. my Outrunner Hf iss org.4,4 KG Heavy ! By using Lipo RC Battery I will earn 100 Gramm´s less ! The 8 s /123 Li/FE Zells are only 600 Gramm´s light !
I would like to place two 4800er4s Packs into a 8 S but in the org. Hellfire there is not enough Space to Place them on a good Posizion ! I want to build a komplet Chassis, with is 3 CM longer and the Big lipos will fit in !

best Regards Stefan

If I was to say what sort of animal my Muggy is, I would have to say that it's a big FAT cat. It is fast, jumps well, lands well, and is pretty fast. It is faster than any nitro truggy I've seen.

It is heavy, but there is also a lot I can do to shed weight. As the opporunities arise, I will be adding carbon fiber and getting rid of the 40 series wheels/tires that also add a lot of weight. I do, however, have to say that the stock tires provide good traction and are wearing well on concrete.

[Mr.lst]

I would not worry about the weight until you start to race I am sure it is balaced very well

my car :





what do you think about it ?

Looks good Piere; but i have got a tip for you;

use a 46t kyosho spur, that way you can flip the differential; that long pinion is a killer for your motorshaft! if you can't do the 46t (due to gearing limitations) make an extra slot in the chassis.

I would try to make the wires on the controller a bit shorter.
