the later evos have different levels the evo 8 rs which is the lightweight version was around 280 and then on to a tommy mack which was around 310 iirc later evos again come in versions of fq300 360 and 400 if he is looking into getting an evo id higly reccomend an early evo maybe even a 2 or 3, they are alot lighter than the later versions and do not have yaw control which can be a right pain if you have any problems with it ;)
