Its really not heavy at all. It depends of what cells you use and your electronics. THe only "heavy" parts on the car are:

1) the steel spool drive cups
2) Steel drive shafts
3) Steel turnbuckles
4) diff balls?- they seem to be steel
5) hinge pins-

Maybe for 19T and Stock they can come up w/ aluminum drive shafts, drive cups? For mod, its probably best to keep the steel spool drive cups and axles/bones...

They have already released ceramic diff balls which will help a bit. THe only thing I'd change is the turnbuckles...why didnt they include some Ti turnbuckles?
