Thumbs up Doing some milling soon...

Hey guys.... have any of you thought of any areas on the TC4 chassis that might stand to loose some weight....
I have a standard chassis that I have started on a standard plastic TC4 chassis by Removing some material from the following areas.
1) Center back bone... milled down 2 mm
2) Opened up the Battery slots in the center of the slot by 2mm on each side..

by doing this I was able to save 8 grams without any flex issues

if any of you guys have any other recomendations for areas that could use a little "weight loss" please post them

Pic's will be soon to follow
