#3: sidewview.
I just weighed my new car: 1222grams, with full size tires. I think I might install a smaller servo, to get the weight down even further. But that will have to wait till my first paychecks comes in . This is actually my last day off, between the end of my studies, and my first day at my first "real" job. I'm now officially not a student anymore, but an "Ingenieur" (Somewehere between a "Bachelor" and a "Master" in international terms) in elctronics.

But very well, back on the weight: my old car weighed in at 1303grams with the same motor, body and tires.
I can also lose some weight by using another motor. The Peak V2 is somewhat heavy with its aluminium endbell.
A lighter ESC is also an option, but I really love my good old Novak Cyclone: it never fails me.
