Ok, maybe add 30~50 grams for the lid. But yes, I'm running a KO PDS 2143, KO RF301, LRP Comp ESC w/CAP and did without the Orange bodypost. The car is super light. Could be because of those titanium torx screws.

I'm running Fukuyama Racing Cells, they're GP3300. The KO Receiver and Quantum Comp ESC is super light to begin with.

I hadn't thought of that. I might give it a try but from last night's run, strap taping them is great! the cells are neatly secured. The car is perfectly balance at this point but I don't know if that'll be the case with the bulky brace and orange alum top plate. I'll give it a try today and see if it'll throw off the balance. I've got some really light electronics on the other side.

I'm using a KO 297 reciever so no real difference there, my ESC will be heavier but it's no monster, probably around 15grams more. Still 100g difference, you using the alloy battery strap? I have replaced half my screws with titanium ones. You filled your tyres with helium?

Maj I'm using a pair of alloy posts to mount my battery strap on, it's fire as long as you mount the spur to the rear of the car. Looks very nice too
