your good, if it's too light something is sacrificed, too heavy you loose performance. You can go with lighter wheels/tires.

For bashing that is fine. Now I race and weight is HP so I am lightning it up and there are ways to do that with out sacrificing durability. Some do go to the extremes. I am hoping to get mine down to around 10 pounds but I have seen some get down to 9 pounds. I cannot go under 9.5 do to the sanction rules I have to fallow.
