Hey up Jonny,
Why do you want to loose weight? I have to add 70 grams to get up to 1500.
Guess who's going to get pulled for scruteneering on Friday ::) ::)

Indeed, with 2400 Nicads, my Team TC3 only just makes the weight limit. I can't understand peoples obsession with trying to lighten cars when there is a lower limit....

Also, I think the 'blue wrap around' is the full motor heatsink.

With cars like the TC3, where cells are laid down the one side of the car, and electrics down the other, more than likely, the weight from side to side is different.

If you can drop the car below the limit, then you can use weights on the light side of the car, to try to even up the weight distribution, cause the only time you want a weight bias is when you race going around in circles....

why would getting the blue AE driveshaft losing weight? surely the new version ally one is heavier by a little than the carbon fibre original tc3 one.
