question?? how heavy is a b4 with a 6cell battery pack,
then how heavy is it with a 2 cell lipo, 5000 mah,
then with the short associated shorty pack??

None...the +8/shorty weight ThunderbirdJunkie posted was with no additional weight anywhere on the car.

500 grams!?! That's over one pound difference! Did ThunderbirdJunkie type one too many zeros?
