FYI: You could buy the Exotek chassis!
I have added weight. I had my father take stainless steel and make me a plate that I drilled holes and counter bored so I could bolt it to the bottom of the chassis. A stock Losi weighs 6.75 lbs. My truck is coming in at 6.8lbs on the scale. 7.2 lbs with body on. It's plenty heavy trust me. To be honest the weight was the best thing I did to the truck.
I'm not done messing with my setup yet. I really don't want to get rid of the truck. I like AE much more then Losi. I think the build quality is better.
I drive a RC8T. You would have to pry that truck from my cold dead hands to make me get rid of that truck lol.
