the matrix chassis is 216grams, stock chassis is 314grams
the matrix front shock tower weighs in at 12grams stock is 24grams
the matrix rear shock tower weighs in at 20grams stock is 38 grams
the matrix steering ackermen Weighs in at 20 grams, stock is 38 grams

so over all its 147grams lighter just from the carbon conversion

when you add in the titanium turnbuckles,hinge pins, king pins, cermaic bearings and other lite weight parts it all starts to add up........er i mean down.........wait...........you know what i mean

im not sure what the final weight will be but right now with the body on and the wires tossed it its 6.5lbs rtr
