I run 1/8 offroad now but am considering on road also. I'll let you know on the MRX-3 after I check them out this weekend.

Has anyone compared the weight of the RTR vs the kit? I'm curious about how much weight will come off the car when I upgrade to the carbon parts...

R40: I weighed both of them and they both weigh at 5 pounds each. I would think the only difference would be in ounces at the most.

I just weighed 3 cars; My XR8, my Evolva, and a XR80 from stock.
XR8=5 lbs-7.5 oz.
Evolva=5 lbs-9 oz.
XR80=5 lbs-12.5 oz.

All 3 cars measured ready to put on track minus fuel.

Impressive... Is my math right; roughly 140 grams difference between the kit and the RTR? How do the MRX-4, Proceed and Slide V compare in weight? Are they lighter/heavier with/without upgrades? Just curious, and I like feeling like I got a fantastic value.

Awesome. I went to the track on fathers day with a friend. Hey Raul, do you run anything else other thanthe 8th? I think I may keep my mugen and run it instead of the R40.
