I would suggest looking at your components and try to find affordable lighter ones. Even though I never build an antweight (yet) the machine at this point eyes a bit bulky. Once you find a setup that suits you, you can trim all the wires to slightly more than you really need to save additional weight (just a few grams generally).
Otherwise, I can't be more of assistance since this is not a weightgroup I've delved in.

I also have a plan for a beetle (Version 1, but oh well):
I hope the images work
