16lbs? Mmms... really? My Savage 5T conversion is 16.4lbs with a 2200kv and 5S. So I can't imagine this thing would be less than 18-20lbs. Granted they are saving a bit of weight with not having beadlock wheels...

4S/6S? With a 1150kv? SLOOOOOOOWWWWWW. If indeed its at 16lbs, 6-8S, should really make it rip.

Axles look whimpy. I'd rather seen 24mm hexes so you could easily run Baja tires/wheels if you want. This would probably be the reason I'd avoid it that and from the look of it, none of the adjustments you can do on a buggy/truggy. Otherwise looks good especially for a 5th scale RTR.

The buggy weighs in at 21.8lbs with a gasoline motor, full tank of gas and Jet-pro side pipe as per DemonRC. The Electric will be WAY lighter than that because the gear plate, motor and pipe are gone. The square drives are FG style, what more tire options do you need than that? If you have to run Baja wheels/tires 24mm Baja adapters are in the works by Ramtech. Plus a few other companies adapters can be easily modified to work. In the latest video its running on 6s. I wish they'd offer rollers but I don't see that happening at all.
