my car is stock with the SMC sqaure pack and is 1665. And my wires are all about an inch too long. If I really wanted to, I could toss the short pack and low profile servo in, trim my wiring, and I'm sure I would be mid to low 1500's I mean shorty vs square is what.... 80grams alone??

add in Pucks, alum top shaft, and other various things, I could see it. Not saying I would do it, but I could see it.

Just as a point of reference, my rear motor car, bone stock with a shorty was 1490. It had no transponder in it when I weighed it. If I am to run that car outside, I'll likely add a ton of weight and switch to a square.
