CAW motor mount
hyperion motor
mamba esc
CF plates
MIP ball diff
TLT body and yes I even left the body pins in
hitec hfs-03mm receiver
Thats everything that is not stock and it comes in at 1.8 pounds!

With the stock body its 1.79 pounds
------------------------------------------------------------
Everything above and a 1500 3s lipo: 2.0 pounds
Everything above and a 8cell 1200IB pack: 2.2 pounds
-------------------------------------------------------------
Difference between stock plates and CF plates is:
Stock aluminum (all 6): 68grams

Cf plates (all 6): 36grams!
--------------------------------------------------------------
Stock MLST tires/rims ( 4 ): 218grams

Stock set of Minizilla rims/tires weighs:
188grams

I got the new Hot Racing shock tower today and weighed it against the stock plastic one and the results are:

Stock: 4grams
Aluminum: 8grams
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Got a new weigh in: 2lb 9oz
This is with CF plates, TLT tires/wheels, monotuning wide kit, 3r shocks, hot racing shock towers, 8cell pack, CF motor plate and hyperion motor, HR handle. About it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is a new one for the weight watchers.
I picked up a set of the revised rear knuckles from HR and gotta say their rather nice. Weight difference, I would say not even noticable, 8 grams for the stock setup and 6 for the aluminum. Given what you dump off the truck for these its worth it in my opinion and plus they look kool!
