My MST TCR is on my dining room table, ready for surgery. I ordered a decent 21.5 motor, I have a itty bitty teeny weenie little Tekin esc-y. I have a 2600mah 110c super shorty battery. I have a 9 gram receiver. And I have a decent shorty steering servo. I think... I can get the car, ready to run, minus body under 800g. The bare chassis is 337 grams... And if I tape the battery on, another 15 grams of screws and battery bracketry can be lost.

Is that light enough? Who knows. But we'll find out. "The car" I've pretty well got settled. What i'm really hear to ask about, is bodies. What should I run on this thing? I looked at the Zoodiac, but I fear it might not clear the motor cage. I traditionally run a Nissan GT-R, as they're quite roomy under the nose. But the bodies I have are also somewhat heavy. What do you suggest? I ... vaguely like the idea of a FWD car, but i'm not bound to it. And with how light the car is, CG is an issue.

They did away with the open body for FWD. Now they require you to run a FWD body. Your already hamstrung with 2 less tires. Now they wanted to kick you in the nuts and saddle you with a cardboard box of a body.
