Not really...It is hard to stay under 1050g with heavier wires than 16awg...25.5t motors don't need the extra current anyway. Novak used 14awg for their 3.5t setups....

So, I went to the 16G wire this past weekend and it seemed to work just fine.
No difference in performance then the wire from the hobbywing esc stock wires.
It did make it easier to route the wires.

Biggest reason we use the smaller wire is for less pod binding. Anything bigger than 14 gauge seems to add resistance.

Is the Exotek the only F1 chassis with a sway bar option? Seems like a pretty important tuning tool for the others to not offer.

What would be the first thing to change to help keep the car from unloading the inside wheel, other the going heavier on the gear diff fluid.

Try widening out the rear end.

Does anyone remember a hex shaped spacer that can be placed between the hub and wheel? I had some once but can't find them now.

Technically they all have a sway bar option, they just use two compression springs instead of a single torsion spring. The F1 Ultra is different in having a floating rear end, almost every other chassis uses a fixed pivot so the side springs are just for roll control exactly like a sway bar, with just the centre spring supporting the car.

Some of the dirt oval cars used them also, maybe Custom Works? Check lefthander RC.
