I finally got a chance to weigh this thing today, and with batteries it's 18.8lbs. Slightly more than I was expecting, but I was in the ballpark. My Muggy weighs 12lbs with batteries. The chassis, wheels/tires, and extra battery cells are the biggest differences between this and that (also motor and esc are a little heavier).

I landed a jump today a little on the nose and a front spindle broke near where the turnbuckle attaches - this definitely looks like a weak spot. Anyone have any luck with aluminum LST2 spindles?
