Mine is equipped with Spektrum servo and receiver w cap,RX8,Tenshock 411 4600,Reedy saddles.. I measured it on my wooden kitchen table and moved the scales around from corner to corner to make sure I didn't have a bad scale. For anyone wanting to verify the accuracy of a scale a nickel weighs 5 grams.. But I digress.. On to the numbers....

LF 21.39g RF 18.19g

LR 23.66g RR 26.05g

Totally shocked the motor/esc side is 2.4g lighter than the receiver side. Only thing I can figure is the belt assembly/slipper is all offset to the right.

Also pretty wild how light the front end is!!!! Now thinking all my weight is going to end up around the servo.
