Make MT lighter

[ika]

Thinking to reduce weight of MT.


first bought MCD tires


http://www.largescalerc.com/011201x0-monstertireandblackwheelassembled220mmqty2.aspx


Stock tire is 2.5lbs / 1.13kg


MCD - 1.12lbs / 0.5kg


total saving = 5.52lbs / 2.5kg


Have you any idea for some weight reduction?

Make MT lighter

Wow, 2.5kg from the wheels?! That's a significant difference even for a full size car! This should be really noticeable in the way it accelerates.

Ontopic: maybe single servo setup would further reduce weight?

i run a single servo .. i love it.. also converted to brushless and drill a few holes in my chassis .. i don't run a rollcage and plan on running dune runner rear wheels all the way around

what servo do you run?

 

[tha nemesis]

i am currently running a hitec 1/5 scale servo atm .. i do have a savox servo to go in.. i just need to get a cc bec pro to add more voltage b/c savox servos are hi current

Hi Nemesis

Which hitec are you running?

I'm looking for something that will drop straight into my DR

The stocker is still going well but I like to be prepared

Thanks
