6a on 1800 kv is ludacris speed for sure! Mine was insane on 1700 kv and still plenty fast on 1400 kv now. My rc8 is 3330g and has all the lightweight driveline parts too. A lighter buggy runs longer and cooler but I had to change my setup to make it drivable. I like how nimble it is now but I have noticed it gets tossed around a little more in the rough stuff. IMO reducing rotating mass is where it's at. Don't worry about overall weight as much, reduce load on the motor to keep the power system happy and it will reward you with insane amounts of power as you have found(neu motors are my favorite for this reason).
