no way the top weighs a shitload. have you ever picked it up? The motors are only -maybe- 10lbs each. Probably less.

now remove your soft top and motor and replace it with a Mugen HT will be a different story. Even better aerodynamic and weight reduction!!

It's about 65 lbs. I held the softtop and two tiny motors and then weighed myself on a scale. Hahaha.
