My truck has lots of useless bling. Aluminum battery box, aluminum tranny case, aluminum servo mount, aluminum skidplates, aluminum fuel tank. That's why it's the "bling-a-thon Maxx". Granted I have a lot of performance and durability parts but it's got it's share of useless weight too.
Ralph, do you realize that we are sort of building up to the battle of the blingers? I mean... you're truck is waaaay more blinged out than mine. But considering that you're running a Savage and I'm running a T-Maxx and we both have a crapload of money in our trucks, they are just destined to tear it up until one of them breaks first.
P.S. My truck is going to smoke yours in performance AND durability.. just an FYI.
