A lot of it has to do with your battery and motor choices, There's a huge disparity in weight amongst battery packs in the 6000mah range as well as a huge weight difference between the Tenshock/castle 4 pole motors and the beastly 550 can motors.
With a battery in the 315 gram range, and a smaller 4 pole motor, all you really need to do to get to 6.2 lbs is remove plastic thats not needed...like most of the battery tray, most of the radio tray, most of the rear bumper, etc.
I couldn't agree more so I use this site
http://www.rcweights.com/ to help keep track of components and their weights. It saves time and money when being weight conscious. Add any additional info you might have, it helps to have it all in one place.
