My 8ight now weighs about 7.25lb with a 4s 4100 mah pack and stock tires/wheels.

A few tips:
Kyosho plastic vs. Steel spur: 20g less
Removed front chassis brace (non-flex tuned chassis only): 14g less
Did not use motor brace, diff bulk spacer in losi conversion: 17g less
(Dremeled chassis for spur clearence instead)
Got some fioroni drive axles from a-main hobbies: 20g less
Got a the lunsford titanium hinge pin/turbuckles kit: 36g less
Total: 107g of weight loss which is almost 1/4 lbs, but you can save even more just by getting the right tires, wheels, foam, battery, and shortening your wires,


Check out my custom converted 8ight:
Sub 7lb, lowest CG of any 1/8 buggy
