January 4, 201016 yr Author comment_402844 How much weight do you think it has gained due to the extra steel added? I reckon it's about 60-80kg heaver than a standard body shell with the cage and the motor and box is good 50kg over a 4k i'm trying to keep it under 1100kg . So what is the weight of a ke55....?
