    My work in progress, a Tamiya TA06, took out 2 oz (62 grams) of weight by removing the front diff, dogbones, belts, pulleys. I know it only has a silver can motor in it, but I figured I'd start...

    Paul... I do the same. Need to come back and visit us for the ROAR Nats in Austin. Yeah I agree $295 is way high needs to be $195 or less.

    Weight transfer is an inherent and unavoidable property of having the vehicle's center of mass above the ground. Imagine invisible arrows hanging loosely and pointing straight down from every atom of...
