I'm aware of the chassis and you not talking about an outlaw. Your still at close to $300 for just that chassis. I mean I'm all for it, but is your budget?

Keep weight in mind as well, running a small bore you don't want it weighing 45lbs or it will just not have the go you want it to without gearing way down.
 
Im gonna give you a idea thats first very provocative, because im a dik, and its funny. Secondly very practical and probably the lane you should be in due to you not having money. Get a DBXL!!? They're dirt cheap used, don't require much in upgrades to make decent, and a lot of used ones already have that stuff done. Lastly, it would be awsome if you owned one after all the crap you talked. ??

I will be able to afford to do it. Not right now, but in winter for sure. I'd have to sell of the front end and such off my Baja first. Yeah wieght is a concern for sure. They say tho, it's 16% lighter than a diy hybrid chassis. I would think it would be lighter than a Losi , since there's no center diff and all that stuff. Definitely won't be as light as my Baja that's for sure.

Hell no. I'd shoot my peepee off before I bought a dbxl . And if I'm going 4wd why would I buy that, the 5ive is 1000x better.

1000× is a bit dramatic. Its better no doubt, but many of the components are strikingly similar. But the price reflects that and you're poor.
