MP7.5 buggy weight

Over the past year I swear my rides gotten heavier.....I've an upgraded 7.5 RTR to kanaiIII with shock towers and chassis off ebay.

Can I ask kanai's to weigh their buggie...without fuel and without shell. This will let me compare and see if I am really bloated

cheers from OZ

I dont know the weight of the buggy.. however.. i do know.. that if you changed everything to Kanai 3 specs.. the universals are bigger than the RTR dogbones.. in diameter.. Also.. if you upgraded the diffs.. to Kanai 3 specs.. or regular specs.. you have 2 extra gears in the diffs.. for a total of 6 extra little gears.. also.. the steel ring gear, and pinion gears.. are little more beefier.. and heavier.. If you put the metal spur gear instead of the plastic.. then there is alot of weight there.. Shock towers are a little thicker.. and different material as well..

yeh that coupled with heavy duty shock towers and a 3mm hardened chassis seems to be very weighty now.
