how much heavier is the subframe. I was thinking about changing mine since i still have my 01 in the garage with no motor.

King needs to lose some weight so he can keep up with ole Hap, but then of course he would just be blown over by the wind [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

The x33 is around 13 pounds vs 20+ for the stocker I believe. The x33 is the lightest axle availible and is the strongest save for the rpm dominator.

 

funny

if i tried to drop some weight on the raptor,,,,i might be able to find about 10-20 extra lbs

If I tried to drop some weight on me,,,,i might be able to find about 50

Ask not of your rappy what you will not ask of yourself!!

 

Hey RADFAST,

Don't take any crap from this guy. I've met him once, saw him try to ride.
He is about 5'6" and weighs at least 220 (that's probably being nice on my part). He could stand to lose a little weight himself.
He's about as round as he is tall.

Who loves ya baby

 

anyone know the actual weight of an 03? I thought the 01 weighed almost 400 and it had the aluminum subframe on it. Also are the upper a arms still aluminum on the 03 and newer?

My 02 and 04 upper a - arms are aluminum. I didnt know the x33 was light. as for only being 13 lbs that would be great!! Do they have this posted on their website? I just dont care for Durablue anymore, not since I had a bad run in with them and there support. Anyone else hear of a light axle other than the Titanium one which is like 1000.00 out of your pocket??

 

If Ridley was still here he could back me up on this issue. Do a search for his post on raptor axles and you will find all the info you need.

 

One of lightest axels i can think of and im not sure if anyone makes them but a carbojn fiber axel... Man woud it be light and strong

 

The 01's were 50 lbs more. LAter than that they weigh even more with the stell swinger and stuff.
