Car is now sitting at 1465grams with no bits removed or any drilling etc done to lighten anything; and that's with a standard servo & standard 220g shorty (not these super light 160g ones I keep reading about. Just have to figure out where to add weight back in now to meet the 1499 requirement...
Nice to know buddy. I might put back my full shorty after I get my hands on those. Might have to stock up, my LHS only carries the softer stock parts.
