Ofna twin 775 motors on 4 cell lipo. Freaking thing is powerful! So light I have to put my gallon of fuel on it, when not starting my buggy, to keep it from floating off.

Lightest setup I have seen is the AE/Thunder Tiger Box with a 3s lipo.
But, the question of "what box is lightest" is kind of like asking "who is the lightest fat chick"
For myself, Im not worried about carrying a couple more pounds, so I have a Dynamite Dual Motor Box (same thing as a OFNA Truggy Box, just half the $$) and a 12v gel cel. I get flamed all the time for not using a lipo.
When I ask them "Why is a lipo better", they say "its lighter and has more power". As far as power, if you have a dual-motor box, it is a mute issue. As far as weight, we are talking about a 1lb differece.
With the gel cell, I can go over a month without charging, the gel cell is like 18,000mah, and it cost $20. No need for a special lipo charger, blown up batteries, etc.. etc... I just charge it with a Battery Tender Jr ($13)

I too have the blue box with the gel cell (and also get flamed regularly), but the Lipo route isn't attractive to me due to the usual safety issues, and not being able to keep the battery stored with a full charge at all times. The box with a Lipo sure is a featherweight though.....
Now, a LiFe pack in comparable capacity is a good option. When it comes time to replace my battery, or I have the extra $$$ buring a hole in my pocket, a 4S LiFe pack may be my next purchase.
