350lb DS...Is it possable????

down to 321 lbs</end quote></div>
I can't even imagine what my mild build would run if I could drop 215Lbs. Some day I will strip it down and lighten the frame and sub frame, but for now I just enjoy it too much.
Does anyone know what a stock frame weighs? How much can you really save for duning.

quadlocos 733DS custom chassis with yfz based drag suspension,with jj@a axle,3-sprokes,marvins,small battery,nitrous ect. weighs right at 290-300lbs,a smaller fuel tank and few other changes could take 10-20lbs more off, chassis is all chromoly and std drag hill chassis stuff
the frame/sub/stem was around 34lbs,a stock ds frame is 51lbs bare,a stock ds seat weighs more than most 450 seats and subs,lol
his bike is a 200-220lb yfz with a ds motor that weighs 50lbs more and a few more preferred but heavy parts,lol
if he ever decides to bite the bullit i see 25-30lbs of motor weight that could go pretty easy also

guys if you want something to be light and durable then why dont you use titanium instead of aluminium. Titanium is stronger than aluminium and lighter...............................but more expensive.</end quote></div>
Titanium is half the weight of steel but twice as strong or something like that- so it would be the way to go imo.
Titanium costs a LOT of money though
