There is alot of material on the battery compartment sides that can go. I think it would be cool to draw out some lettering there that says "E Revo", then remove all the material except the lettering and a border. The compartment bottoms I will leave solid. It's a battery shield and worth the extra weight IMO.

There is some material on the bottom mount that can be removed. Let's not get too carried away though. We don't want it to flex.

The ESC mounting plate can lose some weight. We will leave it solid directly under the ESC to retain the heat sinking.

Each 2S2P 10,000mah Lipo weighs 16.7 ounces each. Isn't this about the same as alot of 7 cell Nimh batts weigh? This puts the truck at 11lbs 9 ounces.

I have a 4 Series 4000mah Lipo setup that weighs 14 ounces for the pair. RTR it would be 10lbs 6 ounces.
