Default Weight of Robart RoboStruts?

I was browsing Tower's site, looking for a set of Robarts and I noticed Tower lists the weight of each [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXES70&P=7]#653L 3/8" RoboStrut[/link] at 1lb-1.3oz. Obviously this is a mistake, right? What is the weight of their RoboStruts?

Yeah, I can do that...but I think I'll wait and ask them at the AMA Convention tomorrow.

You know, I'm not sure if they were, I don't remember either. But the list of vendors on the AMA site has them there this year. I just hope the list is accurate.

I have one. It weighs about 80g(2.8 oz) a pair.
Above is only strut, the weight of axles and bushes need
to be added to say precisely.

Thanks Richard.

I tried to buy a set at the AMA Convention this past weekend but Robart wasn't selling anything. They said they didn't want to compete with their resellers.....they only problem was there wasn't a single retailer at the show selling them. Oh well.
