6612 grams (14.57Lbs) TOTAL.. without batteries..
12 Cells 7450 grams (16.45Lbs) still too heavy.. I think the tires and wheels are the problems...

I would ditch:
REAR BUMPER 78
TRANSMISSION 286 (Get single speed)
SHIFTING SERVO 52 (Get single speed)
WHEELS & TIRES (4X) & NUTS 1520 (go for some lighter ones)

and get 8s lipo 3700 Mah packs would save you massive weight

thanks... How much do those velocity 40 series wheels... they're super light... correct... for wheels and tires.. I would like to keep it under 1KG, I was thinking of that.. should I cut my upper a-arms.. the center part... just keep the outsides.. I'm gonna ditch the tranny and get a center diff.. I will use LiPo for sure.. I already have some packs... but they're only 10C packs.. I need better LiPo packs... I'm gonna try to get it under 12 Lbs... the integy a-arms are pretty light. But stock is the lightest.. maybe I'll just use stock A-Arms and Stock Shock tower.. anyone know the weight of these

12 Lbs without the batteries that is... are the new 3.3 Parts any stronger? or just different colour... how much more does the RPM A-arms, knuckles and shock towers weigh?... about the same as stocK?

I use the 3.3 bulks.

They are pretty tough, though i modified mine.

you can also use the 3.3 driveshafts/steeringblocks.

[aqwut]

you think it'll hold up to 4 Lbs of batters and 2 Lbs of motor?....

I think I'm gonna go buy the U&L a-arms and steering blocks today... You're using their bulkheads?..??? it didn't break yet?... how much lighter is it than the aluminum....

[Serum]

you think it'll hold up to 4 Lbs of batters and 2 Lbs of motor?....

Nope..

But the according to the latest news i got from you was the change of motor for a 1930..

:p

:), that's for the New G-Maxx project... but the heavy maxx is starting a diet already... I've got permission at work to be able to use the hydraulic iron worker... I think my Heavy E-Maxx is goin' to be less than 15Lbs with 24 Cells... I'll be very happy with that.....

Actually my mistake.. the Stock tires with maximizer beadlock is 2.150Kg (4.75Lbs)...

[Serum]

Okay, you can save a whole kg on those wheels..

Your goal is easy to accomplish.
