I was quite surprised to see my car weighs in at 715 grams with body. My Yokomo R12 at its lightest was 740 grams. The 12R5.2 chassis could be lighter if I remove the team bomber caster blocks (run kit plastic), aluminum front cross brace (run carbon fibre R5) and Yokomo damper ( switch out for a team prime damper).

Now I need to figure out where to place the lead weight...

For those who are interested, I switched out the side links for Yokomo R12 side links. Much better. And mounted Yokomo R12 front chassis guards to protect the front corners of the chassis.

Everything is looking great and hopefully I'll be able to give it a shake down this weekend.
