Hehe, I can't wait! The ice cream bug has brought me a lot of fun, but this car should look as good (if not better) on the outside as it does under the shell - and the matter of taste aside, I think it looks quite pretty under the shell

Whilst I can't yet show you any pictures or videos, I do have the first data of the car: Weight! In weighs in at 1495g. This is with the following spec:
- ProLine (clay) tires on all corners.
- Motor, ESC, battery and receiver (including all wiring).
- No transponder, bodyshell and sidepods.

The electronics I use are pretty heavy: Without ESC and receiver the car was 1365g!

Anyway, referring to post #252, the car is 80g heavier than the last one. I must admit I don't recall with what tires I measured the car then, but this puts the car in the range of the minimum weight. Previous experience tells me the car feels much happier with a bit more weight (at least on the bumpy tracks I drive on), so it's not crucial, but it's good to know the concerns for minimum weight are out the door.
