I was thinking the same thing, as per everyone i'm like 300 grams "overweight" but i'm still hanging with everyone every weekend without problems????

Hey I guess it is up to each individual on what they think about the weight of their car. For me the only weight I worry about at all is the spinning weight of the drivetrain. I like to have it lightweight but reliable.

car !
ran my car on the treadmill today @the gym ....only lost 1.5grams so,I have the weigth watchers bulk heads on the way!!! on a side note I am going to run with Drew Ellis this friday @his home track c how my foam car runs with a pro!
I've installed Ti screws, turnbuckles and the lowest weight electronics I could find and mine weighs in at 1398 grams (19T, 5 cell). Put the lightweight bulkheads on there and I should be right on the limit

yo
one way,the only way..
only way is the oneway
3 Mi3 pigs won stock, mod, and masters class against Serpent, Xray, Associated, Corally, HPI, etc. Unless you're Toso, Moore, Hara, etc, the lighter weight isn't going to help anyone else make up any time after slamming pipes
Don't worry, Schumacher will release an '08 edition with most of the "LW" hop-ups. You're not telling them anything they don't already know

Actually the RDX is still one of the lighter cars today...look back the famous rc cars magazine 2005 summer issue that evaluated the top 8 TC's of the time...the RDX came in top 2nd at a under 1400g ready to run weight on 6 cells, according to the magazine...the lightest was the tamiya 415 MSX...Yok BD was 3rd, I belive...but the RDX is still light...
