How do the weights of the actual buggies compare as rollers? I know they are similar (Kanai III vs 777), but I wonder if different parts make the Kanai III heavier.

MetalMan, my Inferno 777 SP2 (nitro) weights 7 lbs 12.4oz (no fuel or rx battery). The Kanai III (brushless) weights 7 lbs 12.6oz (with no battery). So like I said most of the weight difference is in the lipo battery.

Non-Stock parts:

777 SP2: Fioroni shock towers, Steering plate. Reckward chassis braces, CEN CNC knuckles, CEN 16mm Big Bore shocks/RMV progressive springs. Kyosho bonded brakes.

Kanai III: Racers Edge shock towers, Racers Edge Toe in plate, King headz chassis braces, Knuckles and C-Hubs. CEN 16mm Big Bore shocks/RMV progressive springs, Craddock fiber rotors, K-Factory hinge pins. King Headz steering plate.

yeah so there is a lot of extra aluminum on both buggies. I went for a little extra durability over super light weight.

Here are some pictures of the track where I will run the test and some of the Racers that show up for the bigger events.

The track, the layout has since changed since these pictures were taken.

Nice.
 

Hey nice track and quite a crowd as well. Looks like a fun place to run with loads of compitition to keep you busy. Plus you can get a lot of "word of mouth" advice for whatever is on your mind.:lol:

My X-rays are 7lbs 15oz for the Brushless (including 5s 4350mah pack) and 7lbs 7oz for the nitro (then add an estimated 5oz for a full tank of fuel) so 7lb 12oz with a full tank.

Without the Lipo the brushless is 6lbs 11oz.

my 2 xrays weigh the same with a neu 1515 and a 4s 3700 pack and rear mechanical brakes
