Ditto.

Also, what's the difference in weight between stock and this chassis?

The Tire Diameter is 4.5". That is the same size I always use to get the speed.

Here is the link to the speed calculator that I use.

Is it any longer then stock? Is it a full composite? How is the flex compared to stock? I would be pretty interested to try one of these out.

Steve,

145 is a bit OTT for me, but your product looks great!

I look forward to hearing about its performance

I used 4.25 and that appears to be what my tires actually measure not accounting for any ballooning.

I use actual posted manufacturer's test data for my motors at nominal voltage. .25" larger diameter and higher voltage readings could account for the seemingly optimistic speeds.
