I went through and checked the weight, and it is 34 pounds with the motors (without the electronics). I'm not sure if that is higher or lower compared to other drives, it seems around the same weight we normally see.
34lbs is pretty good for a 4-cim drive. Optimal would be 30lbs or even less, but 34lbs is quite repectable conidering you have the tubing that hangs over the wheels for mounting stuff. Sub-30lb drives tend to be just the base and motors.
