im at 13.5lbs with battery and motor. its a heavy tank, does anyone know the heaviest springs i can get for this thing without changing shocks, they are the muggy shocks and allow the chassis to bottom out so would like a firmer spring. but i was very happy with the roll cage from rollcage city, i paid 40 bucks shipped on ebay, they sent it fast, it mounts easily to the body posts clamp style, and really adds to the integrity of the frame. it would take a hard hit to make this cage come off and it hides completely under the body. cant wait to get the mamba back and yes the hood ordament is going back on
