I can't imagine the kit wheels are a whole lot lighter than the Plaction wheels, they are probably heavier.
Of course the base will be lighter if you start removing functionality. comparing this base as a 4WD with 2 CIMS to your base last year is not an apples to apples comparison.

no, have one, single cim gearbox on each side..... with a single chain to the other
our base last year was 2wd with 4 cims
if im only using two victors, and the main block, and the power distribution panel, it should be around 8 or 9 pounds. weight isent really a concern for this, i just wanted to make it strong enough and still be lighter than the kit chassis with everything on it, just wanted to prove a concept to myself and my team
