Lightest setup

So I'm trying my best to get the lightest yet strongest (ish) setup ever. I'm like, 5'4'', scrawny. Female. Whatever. Weak sauce. I can barely do 10 lb. weights in gym class. Why am I scootering. Anyway.

Currently my setup is 8.47 lbs (heavy side for me), and the setup I want to purchase would be 6.5 lbs once I put it together. It's this:

District V3 Bars
Addict LeBaron Deck
Addict Headset
Tilt Legacy Fork
Tilt SCS LT
Proto Sliders
and, jessup grip tape, animal edwins but those are like air so whatever.

Is it worth it? How can I make this thing as light as possible? Should I change the fork to Phoenix Wedge forks? It's only like a .0375 lb difference LOL So what do? Should I drop the SCS and use a clamp thing? Would that make the scooter undialed though. I dunno anything about anything. yech. help?

Can't use the Tilt LT Scs with District V3 Bars since they're oversized on the outside.
But if you wanna get it light but yet kinda strong try

District v3 Bars
District v2 forks
Addict Deck
Addict Headset
Addict ICS
French ID double light clamp
And Proto Sliders or you can try some spoked 100mm wheels to make it ultra light :)

wait is that ur current setup? or the setup you are thinking of buying. if it is your current setup, honestly i cannot think of something that you could change to make it lighter that wouldnt make it alot weaker. addict decks are strong and are quite light. district bars are light. if you got rid of the scs, sure it would be lighter, (not by much though) but it would make your scooter weaker. sliders are fine weight wise and so are tilt forks.

Youre calling rewinds light?

If you want a light set up, go for aluminum parts. But make sure youre aware that aluminum parts arent always the strongest. The strength youre looking for really depends on youre riding too. We dont know how hard you ride, so its hard for us to say which parts are strong for you.
Try HIC instead of SCS or ICS. Itll cut down the weight a little bit more, and its easier to take care and more dialed than ICS.

Dont be too much of a weight freak though. It actually is possible to make a set up TOO light, and everything just doesnt feel right.

This. I did this so bad and got used to it so even now I find keeping my weight centred difficult. When it's that light you don't have to balance.

aluminum bars suck, thats why i said rewinds, they're a simple strong design and would be light compared to something like rad crows or big y bars... aluminum sucks as bars. also, i agree, too light feels like ----- theres no momentum for barspins or tailwhips, and it feels weak, even better idea would be to ride something with a little bit of weight :)
