Yes, it will.

IB4200's are 2.4oz each; 6 = 14.4oz, 8 = 19.2oz
This is also not counting battery bars and wire

Mamba Max motor = 7oz

Mamba Max ESC = 2.5oz

Vehicle = 7.5oz (with no body or servo)

Average Servo = 2oz

And the body is probably at least 2oz also.

That puts you at about 2 1/4lbs with 6 cells or 2 1/2lbs with 8 cells. That's a 3/4-1 pound heavier than you're estimating and doesn't count the battery bars, wire or a receiver.
