Hey T.

Just noticed that Hara didn't have his car 'trimmed' i.e dremelled anywhere? Most of the guys over here lighten theirs by cutting holes here and there. What's your recommendation to bring the weight down besides TI screws and essentially what option parts are really required to make the R40 competitive? Thx.

I'm at 1855g without fuel and shell!!!

Just to share - Have tried using the Yokomo ti turnbuckles (25mm) for the front steering with MTX3 ball ends and they seem to withstand impact better without affecting the toe in/out setting.
