Default Does 04+ weigh more than 03-?

Just curious cause AP2 engine is bigger than AP1, does it mean 04+ weigh more than 03-?

The engine isn't bigger, but its displacement is. So, since what's "bigger" is the empty space inside the cylinders, the engine should(theoretically) be lighter.

The 04's weight a tad bit more then the ap1's....Mainly because of the wheels....And deffinently not because of the engine...It's probably a bit lighter.

The new frame also has a few more extra pieces of bracing here and there.

many of the mags had the my00 at I think 2755 when it came out so I'm assuming weight stayed the same all the way up to the 03.

But the pistons inside the cylinders are bigger to fill the larger volume
