With stage 2 neo drag motor in it, but tires off, mine weighs
124.5 grams to the stock's 100 or so.

I have the following in mine:
Texalium chassis
GPM parts: Front/rear suspension arms, front/rear shocks, front/rear cup joints, rear dog-bone, front/rear gearboxes, front/rear deck plates, front/rear knuckes, tie rod, motor heat sink, battery heat sink, and lock plate (I have all known GPM parts, so if I'm missing something, I musta forgot)
Atomic mods parts: 8 wide track bearings (plus the 6 RS), wheel shims, neo magnets, carbon fiber drive shaft

So bottom line is that GPM *will* add significant weight to the stock plastic, but it is rock solid and has much more room for improvement...should be able to take whatever punishment I throw at it while still being nice n shiny.

It clocks in at about 13 mph tops right now, although it would beat a stock ride (at least, it looks that way, although I saw some claim that stock 2s run at 20 mph, which I don't buy), and has some good drift, even with all that weight, as the torque is damn good. I'm starting on a custom board mod + hand-built motor to try to fulfill some of this thing's potential to go along with its looks.
