I especially like the holes in the battery cups. Think of the weight savings!

havent seen many losi chassis on here...so here is my recent find...NO, it is not mine

that losi was actually a pretty common sight back then, not many survived. I might have done 2 or 3, but I'm not proud I was only 15

This seems so fragile when you pick it up...but it sure is light .

Yup,
I got one of those too...
It was butchered before I got it.
A good friend gave it to me with a bunch of DS parts that I set aside for a future project...it was butchered before he got it.
It use to be a gold "B" chassis anyhow. I'd cry if it was an earlier version.
I'm still shopping for a reasonable replacement for a possible DS runner. My shelfer will stay pretty...

Can't forget mine... ...to be fair on the original owner, a lot of care was taken drilling this one..

What I'm most curious about is whether drilling all those holes really makes much difference in weight, AND, even if you get a weight savings, there's got to be increased drag because of all the holes as opposed to a smooth surface. Regardless, can you really get a discernible difference in performance by making Swiss cheese out of the chassis?
That is actually not a bad looking chassis at all.tizeye wrote:.to be fair on the original owner a lot of care was taken drilling this one..

Sure, you can absolutely make a big difference in performance with some of these mods.

Oh wait, I’m sorry, did you mean a positive difference???

My meager contribution.
I beg forgiveness. Hey, I was only like 33 at the time.
