1) I just weighed some of my CF and each piece really is about half the weight of its aluminum counterpart. It only adds up to about 1.5oz savings (a decrease of a little over 1%), but it was all lost from an average point of about 2" above the chassis, so the benefit might also be a lower CG of maybe .125-.25".

2) The front arm mounts cannot be reversed because they interfere with the diff outdrives and thus do not fit.

3) The stock arm mount screws ARE threadlocked from the factory! The stuff was so strong they might as well have welded it in place! I ended up having to use all sorts of tricks trying to get the screws out after two of them (and the hex driver I was using) rounded out!

4) And yeah I think I am going to put 40 or 50wt oil in the shocks, and probably 3000wt diff oil in the rear.

5) Both the Mayhem and Turmoil weigh about 7lb 15oz with a full tank and body, though she has lighter wheels and tires (used holeshots on spoked wheels vs stock medium-pin Turmoil tires with dished wheels).

6) I also decided to raise the rear a bit with droop.
