Re: The official "lightweight" chassis thread.
Imma put Jake on the list, his is done right but still fits the "lightweight to the max" theme here

Thinking that my vintage Scorpion with a lightweight radio box would fit this thread!

But, is it adjustable enough?

Re: The official "lightweight" chassis thread.
Oooooold thread revival! I have just stumbled across this whilst I was searching for some Nick Adams/Demon reference material... and have just read every page. Some amazing examples of chassis lightening here!
I should probably add my MMS Concept Car, although it is nothing like as severe as many of the examples herein.
Anyway - this is what Model Motor Sport in the UK used to do to their cars bitd. Looks quite professional on reflection. The nose piece machining is a real work of art, especially the bit inside the very front plate - presumably done to retain the Associated logo!

Re: The official "lightweight" chassis thread.
I guess I can drop this in here too, although not really in the 'drilled' spirit of the other cars being posted. Still a lightweight chassis change though I suppose.
