Bill how heavy do you think this thing is?

It's got to be upwards of 20 lbs. It's an awkward 20 lbs though as it's DEFINITELY a both hands job to pick it up and (carefully) put it back down. As I mentioned, for whatever reason DeAgostini decided to do the rear axle in plastic. The rear wheels attach to that plastic axle with screws so one needs to be VERY careful setting it down gently.

Bill thank you for all the information on your build. I did not realize but the supersnake is going to come with another set of tires . Look like the tires and wheels on your car. So after looking on how you did your wheels and tires, well I guess I’m in for a little work. But at least I now know how to attack it. Thank you 

You're welcome Bruce! The wheels were a lot of work, but I just couldn't stand the painted look of those five spokes. It's work well worth the work in the end. 👌
