That's pretty heavy already without shell and transponder. A light bodyshell would be around 100 grams or so. PT would be about 25 grams. If buboy28's car is weighted at race ready condition, what he mentioned should be about right...

If you want to make the car race ready at around 1725 grams, the car should weight about 1600 grams without shell, without fuel and without PT.

Try 1) Kfactory lightweight pinions 2)Five Star aluminium center shaft and 2 speed holder 3) kyosho lightened clutch bell. To reduce the weight dramatically, try using AAA batteries, save about 30+ grams. RR conversion kit another 18grams.
So you did all those things to save 145 grams?
