Mine is about 1640 but it has the very large motor heat sink at the back.

My B4 has got lead on to make it heavier... a heavier car will (generally) handle the bumps better, and be more forgiving to drive (IMHO). I think mine comes in at about 1650ish...

I run 100grams of extra weight in my xxxcr, makes it nice and easy to drive. If I find the car is a little un responsive, (like in the wet at Kidderminster) I tend to take out about 40grams....
