thanks for the response. correct if im wrong but thinking where the nitro motor is, the battery is in the same location and similar wieght. Where the fuel tank is (full of fuel) would weight similar to a brushless motor (may be a bit heavier). And on the other side of the car the servo is in the same spot and radio box. The receiver pack is in the same spot as the ESC. Sounds like it should be pretty close. I will agree that the overall weight of the VE8 maybe heavier with the thick plastic chassis. May just have to go up in oil wieght a little.. I will try it out this weekend.
