I got the car to my office where we have a precision scale and it now weigh in at 4.3 lbs, functional with battery and all. Also there are larger areas of carpet at the office, more grip and speed which is scary in a tight corridor with this car since it currently has pretty soft suspension and higher CG!

Also removed the oil from the front struts as it was way too thick, makes more sense now but slightly bouncy lol will have to find lighter oil. Made a small vid too, tried to follow the car with the iPhone while at the same time driving the car... I am getting pretty good at driving it but with the camera the skillz dropped significantly lol ! Look away a split second and the tail is gone! I was able to catch a few nice beginning of slides in slo motion though. I took a couple of new pics of the chassis too.

Now I am thinking of doing a roll cage but unsure how. I have brake line and a bender, but only have stuff for soldering, no brazing. Might give it a go since it is not going to be abused like a rock crawler, should hold pretty good. Searched for some reference pictures to have ideas:
