If you wanted to spend the money you could get any car to weigh just as much as you wanted to. That new VE8 looks like its probably gonna take the trophy for lightest e-car. Its all plastic except for the tower shocks and toe plates aand of course cvd's and gears ect. An awesome concept I hope it works. But for me I like the set up of the Caster car the best still. Its just balanced and I have seen the car and in never dissapoints me. The H9E is another awesome offering super compact and innovative I am sure its awesome. I have not yet seen the Nitro version let alone the E in person or race so I have no feedback on it. The tiny diffs that it has is appealing enough I am sure that that car comes out of the hole like a bat out of hell.
