    In a pre-assembly dry-fit:
    The painted Viper body, with chassis attachment hardware plus lexan cockpit & glass; is appx 57gm – easily meeting the 55-60gm weight range. The cockpit and glass are both appx 2.5gm /ea, the shell appx 30gm and the attachment hardware 22gm.
    The chassis weighs appx 138gm for a total car of appx 195 gm – 10 gm below the minimum of 205gm.

    When assembled, with the wheel inserts, lights, screws etc I expect the total weight to be between 201-205gm.

    At 4-years old in Pensacola I repaired my steering linkage on my Ford Pedal-car. Dad later converted this car to a Blue Angel with ailerons and elevators with a working "stick/yoke"; the rudder was controlled by the steering wheel. I like all motorsports - I grew up going to a NASCAR Feeder track with Sportsman and Modified classes, and was lucky to attend drag races in 1970 at Orange County Raceway. My first solder-iron was a Christmas gift at 9yo; I modified T-Jets to be AFX spec before AFX Cars were in local stores. I rebuilt a few tractor & car (SIMCA) engines plus transmissions by 15yo (I still have my ring-compressor and valve spring tool) I am a former mountain and road bike geek & perennial sound engineer.
