Metal Fume Fever is 10 pounds. Not bad for a 1.9 The FJ40 is just over 9, with un-weighted plastic wheels and a few other weight-saving measures.

My Proffits FJ40, is a tank. Easily over 10lbs. I just held it up with my road bike which is 14.85lbs and its damn close.

Big heavy chassis, heavy body, heavy wheels, memory foams, 8 cell C pack

I'll run it with the 1/6th scale guys. I keep thinking of running it but in the end its not going to happen.

Batteries are the limitation on this thing. I can't change them and they aren't holding that great of a charge. I need to just break down and buy some better ones.

So what you are saying is, I need to run the CT2000 in 1/6th scale and build another 2.2?

Lightweight!

My 2.2 just tipped the scales at 10 lbs and there's more to be added.

...and that's a rig with two axles.

I'm guessing the MSD 8x8 is somewhere between 10-15 lbs
