Currently its sitting at 4lbs 3oz RTR with no added weight, should be around 4lb 14oz with knuckle weights and a painted body. Going to throw some paint at it and get it wired up this week so I can get it out on the rocks this weekend. Its been too long since i've had a super capable 2.2 shafty rig to play with.
