Glad to hear it's working great for you!

Hi all,

With the Roar weight reduction I'm thinking of shaving a few mm's off of the weights for the next batch so that it might take 25 grams off. This can get tricky though because then it becomes difficult to balance out the battery perfectly without moving it further out. Should I shave the weights down or keep them as is?
I might go to alloy for the battery posts to lighten up the battery strap system also. Sound good?

By the way- my car was coming in at 1415g but this was with strapping tape and titanium screws. My Cyclone comes in at 1410g. Both with standard bodies with a huge fan/heatsink on the motor.
