fully loaded weight is around 2.5lbs (perhaps a tad less but no more; scale is very accurate on the maximum value)
yes it drives and quite well too. the problem is that the motor (atomic mods) wants to set itself on fire before the batteries die so run time is limited mostly by heat. it is geared in the lowest xmods configuration and maximum speed is close to that of a stocker with realistic acceleration curve. 6 power cells + 1 9V for the lights. it will not really move on 4 cells.
+ all sorts of other details and mods i am too tired to list now.
and now guess what... in light of the xmods trucks coming out (with the pos fugly bodies.. stupid rs) i bought a 1/24 die cast suburban which will be the next project, followed by a 1/31 F150 which width wise is a direct fit, making it a little simpler.
but the suburban is first as soon as the trucks roll out.
drive safe now
