RE: REVISED 2-speed shaft drag chassis
Great to here Brent.
A bit suprised at the 5oz. weight difference though. I here for every 2 oz. weight savings, that's .5 on the clock, so 5 oz. would be .15 on the clock. That could be the difference between running 1.6 and 1.75 if true. The best thing is that all of that will be negated by the .22 grams you save in the drive train, which is much more important to the overall performance of the car. As you said, you can always make the chassis cuts later in necessary.
I am in the process of reworking my car as well. I have a custom painted body on the way. Picked up a light weight receiver pack and new servos as well. Gotta wait for the closing date on my AMEX to place the engine order from Rick. LOL.
I will keep you posted.
