not really, the kitbot after we put the four cims and two supershifters and all the electronics and chains and (IFI)wheels was just about 36 pounds,


with the wooden frame, im planning on using directely driven (AM)wheels and only two chains, the BB transmission should work nicely,

im still deciding weather we should use the supershifters or the banebots(i think this is were the weight could be made up ot lost), its really all a matter of what we want to use if for(probobly just for testing and demos)

i still think it will be lighter(even if its only by a pound ill be happy)
