As for the weight difference, the V5 is slightly heavier. But if you run the shorty pack configuration, it would most likely come in slightly lighter. This also depends on what electronics, tires/rims and so on are used. I think the extra weight helps make the car more stable.
This past Sundays race was awesome with the V5. I took both wins in the qualifiers and the win for the main. The buggy goes exactly where you want it to with ease.
Even when I bumped the pipe and fell back a position or two, I didn't have that panic to hurry up to catch back up feeling, as I knew the buggy was so planted I could just drive back around the guys ahead of me when I was ready.
When the other guys asked me what I thought of the buggy, I told them it was a struggle to drive and that I was just getting lucky to get around them when I did. I say this, because I don't want them to know how easy this car is to drive and not to buy one, that way I can keep my competitive advantage.
I know....I'm such an ass.
