That would be bada$$ Yeah It would look good and be super light. But would it hold up? I think just making shock towers and steering plate rear plate throttle servo top mount would be sweet. And yeah I'd pay $100 for a chassis who wouldn't. It's $279 for a 12"x30" piece wow yeah I'd buy one for $100 bucks too. That's for the 5mm thick the 4mm ain't much cheaper

You won't get away with $100 though. The materials alone will run over $200.

i wonder if the price to power gains to weight savings ratio if it would be a smart purchase

Yes sir that's what I'm talkin about. It be a bad dude no doubt but an expensive bad dude. Good luck and if you go through with it let us see that puppy.

im trying to get the weight of this thing down.. theres no reason that the TT should weigh in at 35+ lbs..


so we are all in agreement that the chassis is the culprit that adds the most wieght to the Rampage besides the motor.. does anyone know how much the motors weigh on there own.
