The weight is about 20lb/side. A drivable chassis with bumper mounts, electronics, and everything required basically to move is 70lb. We're not done cheesing the interior yet, though, and hope to drop another 5-10lb before jetting it. |
70 pounds sounds really good for this year. If your hanging mechanism and kicker weigh more than 50 pounds, your chassis isn't what needs weight reduction.  (shamelessly stolen from mr. forbes)
