Got the RCM conversion today, and finished the car.
Car weighs, with RX8, 1400 KV buggy motor, DS1015 servo, and HB megabites mounted:
3502 g w/ Hyperion 6S 3300 mah lipo
3449 g w/Hyperion 6S 2950 mah lipo
3420 g w/Hyperion 2S and 3S 3300 mah lipos (roughly, dont have the adapters made to wire it as a 5S in the car.

Only bitch about the RCM stuff is that the motor mount bottom motor screw hole was huge! I think the CNC machine was just supposed to recess the outside of the hole a bit, like the top motor screw slot, but it made an 8mm hole all the way thru the mount. I used an 8x4 bearing to fill out the hole to fit a 4mm bolt and put a thick washer under the bolt head. This will work OK for now, until I can get the official Serpent parts.
