I figured it was 8 pounds loaded with the nitro stuff, so if you dump the engine/pipe/tank, servos, etc., then add in the electronics, I was thinking about 9 pounds or so.

The Neu that I have is pretty heavy though, as is the battery, and the Quark weighs next to nothing in the grand scheme of things.

On the plus side, if I do the smaller truck project, I think I'll dump the mechanical brake since the truck is so light, and use the ESC, unlike now, where I use the disk brake to keep the load off of the Quark. So I can dump a lot of complexity from things with the new truck too.
