When we started the project, the idea was to have the truck as light as possible. We redesigned most of the parts - shocks, steering components, hinge pins, bulkheads etc. The weight was good, but we ended up compromising a bit on some of our other goals: tank-like durability, performance, and cost. So the 16mm bore shocks found their way back in (performance), along with some other parts from the EB48 (hinge pins, bulkheads, diffs, steering assembly - durability, cost, and more shared parts).

After going through all of that we made sure that the truck would be able to run good at any track. That meant we needed a weight range to match. For indoor use, the lighter the better. For outdoor use the truck needs to be heavier or else it will get tossed around. Have you seen some of the lighter trucks run on a rough outdoor track? In any case, the weight is kind of adjustable depending on what you want to run.

My truck currently has a lot of aluminum options, trimmed mudguards and a shorty pack (5.7lb). Out of the box with a normal pack, all of the mudgaurds, etc it's about 6.6lbs. For the record, I got third place in the video losing to a box stock 6.6lb SCT410. So weight matters, but it's not the only thing. The weight distribution, suspension and adjustability are the main attributes that set our truck apart.
