I guess one thing that isn't really stated when these weights are given is what is included. All the numbers I found from manufacturers just give the weight . . . is that with a motor and everything? If so, what motor as I'm sure many are different weights. So I guess it may not be as helpful of information as I was trying to put out there.

It would be cool to have all of the rolling chassis of these buggies and weigh them - try to make it apples to apples. I think that would be cool to know. So . . . any voulunteers?

Does anyone know the weight of the O'donnell Z01-b? I just got one off eBay and was doing the "feel" test against the 8ight roller and it seems way lighter. It has all aluminum drive shafts and some other weight saving things on it. Seems like a really light buggy. Too bad I don't have a scale!
