Now, I do use 2 9V batteries to run my fans, I would rather do this then drain the 14-cell. I know this takes up weight, but not 2 - 3lbs worth. After seeing other trucks that weighed around 9 lbs, I couldn't believe mine was over 12 lbs, about 3 more lbs. That sounds like a lot to me.

Here are the rest

Let me know what you think, thanks!

I would ditch the 9Vs. A 2 sec wheelie will drain more power than the fans will the entire run.

Otherwise you could do little stuff here and there. 12 lbs w/ the batts right? Each 7 cell should weigh ~1lb. So really you are ~10lbs, which is not that bad for a normal Maxx w/ a few alu parts.

Well no, not good, but stocker is 9.7 lbs w/o batts. so its not obscene.:005:

I have seen others as well who have gotten theirs down to 8 lbs and below w/ a combination of lightweight tires/rims, various gmaxx parts, ti hingepins/links replacing the steel stockers, 4 shocks, using plastic where ever possible, and trimming down plastic that isn't necc, etc. Although if he gets it too light the dog may win...
