The 8g difference was without paint on either. I found that the three colour scheme I posted in the last page including stickers only added 2g of weight to the body.

Good to hear about the LW Chassis, thanks.

I'm running SMC shorties at 219g and am at 1505g at the moment. With LW chassis I'll already be below the limit. I'm focussing on reducing unsprung mass and getting the bias as far back as possible in mid motor.
