I would say it is at least 250 lbs. It has 120lbs of quickret sand topper on it. I originally thought it would be to fragile to be transported, but it is pretty solid. It was a good learning expereince, since the simpliest things under the wire/burlap make for the best features in the end product.

I crawled on it today and the sand topper is great for tracktion.

Way to step up and get something done. Looks good. Need to cut some holes in the side of it for some handles.

It is 4' x 6'. It took 2 1/4 bags of Quickrete sand topper mix.

The new 1/24th Losi make this not so small anymore.

The sand topper comes in 60 lbs bags. It is half portland and half sand already mixed in the bag. Lowes has it for less than $6 a bag. If you have a pallet and some wood (fire wood, landscape timber, etc.) then all you need is the wire $10.00 and burlap $ 10.00, both of which I got at Lowes.

Forgot about the half/half stuff. That makes it a little easier.
