After removing some of the weight from the magneto i got problem with the electric starter gear in it. My foreman have to remove the starter gear in it too... It really lighten my bike alot but with one side effects... No more electric starter for me... Only can use kick starter... But the accelerations was amazing and sound different too coz engine can easily crank to high RPM.

im sharing you this Lightened Magneto Mods. (thanks to seiyah-r for sharing)
Magneto Rotor or officially called ROTOR ASSY in parts catalog.
The idea here is to lessen the weight of this magneto, just like flywheel
lightening which is used in offroad bikes.

whats the effect sir traxxas of the lightened magneto with the ikk clutch gear? the ikk clutch gear also torque to come early as well as allows rpm to build up quickly also...

first thing is you have to remove the side covers where magneto is located.
Thats on the left side of the engine.

Using a puller, you can remove the magneto rotor

When machining, make sure this pulser metal wont be touched

The stock width of magneto is 4mm

and the weight is 1.5kilos

Now goto a machine shop and have it remove 2mm from the outer
portion of the magneto

after machining, this is the final product

2mm is left

The final weight is now 1.25kilos, we save 1/4kilo from the original weight of the magneto 1.5kilos

Install back everything and youre done!

Enjoy your lightened magneto bike

traxxas , you can replace the pics ? , thanks .
