Hi Cajun

Mike is right about the weight. I'm not sure if you saw the other thread on this forum but I plan on adding weight data on the Gorilla Maxx site.

Power to weight ratio is key especially for E's - speed and run times are directly impacted by weight.

The first truck I built was all aftermarket, super expensive and super heavy. It looked great but was a slug - I wont make that mistake again.

I'll give you the exact weight soon but its just a few grams more than the stock parts (yes grams!)... and if you plan to run with 4 shocks you can eliminated 4 levers and 4 spacers which makes the aluminum G3 lighter than the stock plastic parts.
