450 to 500 pounds? *That's how much a quad weighs, i's say closer to 800, although my first single seat mini rail which had a 103" wheelbase, 85" track width, and a 600cc powerplant, weighed 900 pounds........[/quote:1ewtpclb]

Yes 450-500, there's no way in hell mine weighs 800lbs or i'm a whole stronger than i thought i was. Here's a pic of it next to my project turbo car. If memory serves correct the Civic is under 12 ft long.

Don't mind the car tires in the rear, new rims on order . Motors a small Yamaha 440 sled engine, it can't weigh more than 80 lbs. The front end has no weight to it at all, it takes little effort to pick up and i can still lift the rear end to move it myself. So 800 no way, probably close with me in it.
