As I was building mine, I thought it would weigh in at 17-18 lbs. But with Baja wheels and tires and 8s 5000mah batteries, it runs at 18.9 lbs now. Under 20 lbs, yes, but it would be difficult to get it a lot lighter.

Wheels and tires are one of the main things that add alot of weight to a vehicle. I do agree that they look great, but I would likely just run 40 series on the back and truggy on the front. You can drop a pound or more just by swapping wheels/tires.

I would also run lighter batts, and just have 2 sets if I wanted longer runtime. With the 40c lipos I am sure that 4000mah or slightly less will do.
