I've been club racing for years and we have never worried about weight at our track.
Its never been part of our rules....I love rules and rules are rules.
What is the minimum weight or max weight for 17.5 and USGT?

These fans look wider than 30mm, which would make them illegal, but even if they are 30mm or less, the whole unit looks too heavy. Most pros use glue to secure their fans to their cars or the thin wraparound motor mount... These castle fan systems were designed for bashers that don't mind the extra weight/size...

17.5t minimum weight is 1380grams ... Usgt, I don't know.... If you want to win, you need light stuff... Most of the other cars out there are underweight in club races where nothing is checked. Some cars can weigh less than 1250grams while most tc4's are over 1480grams... No way to compete there if you don't run light everything...

USGT Weight
After reading the current posts, I decided to weigh my
Diggity Designs DC4. I was pleasantly surprised to find
that it weighs 1436 grams ready for the track, transponder and all. I guess I will have to add a little.

How bout a couple pics of this duct sytem on a tc4. Did a google search and couldnt find any mounted up. I am interested to see if I could mod it for my pro 4

I found this pic. It shows where it mounts over the cuts in the chassis, under the ESC. It normally has 2 fans in front of the motor.

The integy heatsink is nice but their fans lack power.... I got those heatsinks and I fit the wurks fan on top, while using the integy fans in non competition toys...
