Yep when I weighed my Maxx tire vs Masher 2K that was on the Stampede, times 4, it came to 1lb.

I know it's huge, it kills the truck's performance trying to spin up that weight, you really gotta watch temps (gas or electric motors); I just happen to like the monster truck thing (I converted from a Rusty & I have a nitro 2WD ST racer; you should see my caged Tmaxx, Moab 40's are 7" x 4"). Seems like current draw on grass with Masher 2Ks = current with Maxx tires on pavement.

I like the big tires for jumping; less things break (unless a cartwheel occurs), & clearance on rough terrain (like rock crawling, without the crawling). They just don't make any that are lightweight.

I'm sure my Stampede is over 5lbs, and the extra pound is at the worst place, but carefully monitored I think the brushless can easily do the job (Emaxx is heavier & still use 1 BL motor, but more cells); hope my batteries hold up. Wanted to get some new GP3300 7's, but the $80 pair that was on here is out of stock.

Anyone know if the 7 cell IB3800 zapped kit here is a complete kit for making a pack (there's no pic)? And how many batt bars do you get for $.050? Also no pic.
