Default how heavy is yours?

just weighed mine on some kitchen scales, basic kit, no light weight items.

Fully laden with LRP sphere, spectrum micro receiver, futaba 9551 low profile servo, 5.5 motor and a core lipo...1720.

Does that seem heavy?

Lipo version, sanwa wrx, sphere, novak 5.5L PT, yeah racing 3200mah all = 1510grams. SRCC scales.
I`d say your scales are giving large portions.

LiPo Cat
Core 5000
Speed Passion 9.5
Speed Passion LPF
Hyperion servo
Spektrum micro receiver
Yellow Schuie Mini Pins stock rims soft inserts

1602 Grams

Roar weight requirements are 1613 in the US, I'm not sure your race series and what not but mines a tad light!

Yeah, I could do with trying it on some digital scales really.
It 'feels' heavy too, which is why I weighed it really.

That was on the carpet, I've just weighed it on a hard surface and its 1680...still heavy compared to some.

Tyres were Yellow minipins, revlite wheels and kit inserts.

Whats the 4wd limit again?

1680 with pins is probably not so bad, as they are a very heavy tyre. My MiMh car was about 1695 all summer on mine spikes.
