About 200, not 300!

1120 grams less transponder. AL uprights, shocks, mini receiver, AL driveshafts, Novak speed control. Aluminum screws anywhere it's not load bearing, 4200 mha PEAK battery.

Here's a pic (i know, it's 1146g, I added 26g of tungsten before I had to stop because I ran out, and I'm not taking it out for the photo). Only 160 grams left to go!
