You can't call the Barracuda heavy, I have oen with an alloy battery strap and alloy shaft holder. With 3000's in the car it weighs in under 1500grams ready to race, I have to add 25grams to get it legal with a little bit of a safety margin, about 5-10grams. My electronics aren't even that light. 3300's make the car over the 1500 limit without extra weights, it's around 1515grams. In those pictures there are a few things I don't have, alloy transponder mount, alloy hubs front and rear, and on the orange one alloy body posts. They wouldn't add a huge amount to the total, with lighter electronics I could probably still bring my car under the limit, then there are titanium screws to think about getting
