I just weighed the basic parts to keep it simple. Screws are not included in these measurments. The G2 only has 12 more M3x8 screws than the stock chassis, but unlike the stock you can run with 4 less M3x20 on the trani since they don't act in holding the chassis together (If I do the math right the G2 is just slightly over on screw weight). Also the nut and screw used to hold the velcro down is about equal to the weight of the stock pin and screw on the plastic bar. Basically a wash.

The foam pad is optional (but recommended) - so it is not included (a single pad wont even register on my scale - if a blow on it I can get it to 1 gram :D )

But really you should consider this - the G2 is a 16 cell chassis and the stock is a 12 - Imagine what the stock chassis would weigh if it had 2 more cell slots on each side - should I say more ;)
