What other things can I get to shave some weigh off please?
Looking at maybe 30 grams to loose if possible.
- Avid Triad Slipper + Triad Kyosho Aluminum Topshaft
- Lunsford Titanium Turnbuckles

I use both those products and can recommend for great quality. I would also say the Avid Triad slipper is a performance upgrade.

Another product if you are racing stock is the MIP Pucks™, 17.5 Drive System, Kyosho RB5/RB6 #13165. I've not used it, don't know how much weight it saves overall, but they advertise 50% reduction in rotating mass.

Other's may have other suggestions.
