This Rampage weighs 25 pounds and .6 ounces-25.03lbs (rouning up thats 25.1lbs)and I know I can get it down to 24! Thats the weight of some 2wds! Im naming this Rampage P2W for power to weight. The background on the vehicle: its my oldest. I sold my first, bought this one new, and transferred the best parts over. This is durable to boot. I have not changed anything that would make it weaker. The weight loss also means during a crash the vehicle has less energy to dissipate which also adds durability! Cornering abilities improved, acceleration, imporved, wear and tear went down, fuel use went down, and its so much fun! It feels more like an electric or a nitro now its so much more responsive! Power to weight is how the project idea started. The hard part was deciding between my sprint77 vetpro v3 and 5bss pipe. The v3 hauled all through the poer band but the 5bss was slightly less powerful on the low end but it enabled me to shed over a pound which evened the acceleration back up. On a heavier car I choose the sprint77 jetpro v3 though.
This started as a MT V1
The weight savings:vented clutch bell, lightened chassis, bowtie F and R combo, 5bss pipe, dunerunner front tower/bumper/camber links/shock shafts, no body/wing/posts, no gear cover, 813 carb, dunerunner rear bumper, single steering servo,
Misc mods: v2 gearplate w/metal bell insert, dunerunner rear tower, killswitch, 2.4ghz, swapped 29/31, v1 dogbone leashes, outerwears pullstart, outerwears prefilter, shreadstack
Mods for power: HPI filter, Zrc carb manifold, 813 carb, 27.2 stuffed stroker race ported ONB, lightened/relieved piston, 8k clutch spring, cage risers
Future mods: lightend flywheel, ultra light clutch, aluminum screws (esp. beadlocks), remove material any where possible, run front bowtie rims/tires on the rear also, lifepo4
I think thats the whole build. Let me know if you see something I missed. Anyone else have any ideas?
