And also with the ultra light bodies out there they are 60-70 grams 3 color paint... and last a long time if you don't crash.........
I think the thing to keep in mind is this is the USGT page, not sure if your weights are standard GBS TC or USGT. I know my GBS bodies with 3 or 4 colors airbrushed on are about 80g, not counting wing and that's normal lite not 'pro- or ultra lite. I've not weighed any GT bodies lately but I do think the paper thin TC bodies should be banned and consideration taken in GT to maintain the scale look and prevent the need to have 1 run bodies to be competitive.
