Knowing Don a little bit... I'd say it's in the 4lb range.

I'm loving the water run! I used to do that with an LST2 w/paddles on it, but sunk it a couple of times and had to do complete engine tear-downs.

Does it sink when you get off the gas, or blow a lipo, or is there some way the wheels hold enough air to swim for it. Cranking that up on a cold day could be bad.

It would sink if I let off the gas...tried a couple of times to see. That said, I put a sandwhich sized ziplock under the body with some air in it...so if I got a bad start or turned too sharp while on the water, I could still doggy paddle it in with the cab half out of the water. My current battery is a Maxamps 3250 3s which appears to be pretty much water proof

This rig sits in at around 4.75 lbs right now.

Tint the windows on the body and fill it with expanding foam. Still light and probably more bouyant than a zip loc.

The pool toy noodles work good too. A chunk of that is probably lighter and will float better also. Cant wait.

That is one sweet piece of design. I just like looking at it, forget the performance.

This is on the DOWANTS list.

That's kick ass Don. I might finally take apart the SSS for one of these. Just because.
