I know the minimum weight going by Pro Series rules is 7.05 pounds (3.2 kilos).

How much does it weigh ready to run with engine, electrics and RX pack? I know there are some variables but about how much?

As i want to buy a new one and get rid of my xray xb8 ec , i m looking to get something more into the light side...would be good to have a summary of the latest buggy weights outhere.

What about losi 8ight 2? or ae rc8? mbx6? d8 ? i think all of these are very close to 3.2- 3.35 kilos

My Caster ZX1-R weighed in at 7.725 lbs race ready and that was before the lightened chassis and fiber brake discs. I should also add my Caster does have a 3 piece mount and all aluminum toe blocks front and rear too which most have or use plastic ones and I still have my aluminum chassis braces, and aluminum rear chassis brace mount and aluminum rear hubs which all add a little more weight.

they are claiming the new CEN Matrix C2 at 7lbs RTR. Not 100% sure how accurate that is though
