I'll add my 2 cents for those who'll use aluminum parts- since the motor of an Evo is in the back, try to use more alum parts up front to even out the CG. I'd try alum front end and shocks or wheels and knucles. That should weigh enough over plastic to help center the weight completely. I'd also get a white Mini-Z body thats low and narrow to shave the weight and maybe cut the top of the glass off.
Oh and if anyone plans on getting a Z 2.4ghz board for an xmod- you're better off just getting a Z and enjoy its light weight, better handling/servo, etc since a whole Z chassis is only $130 and the 2.4 board is $90.
