Default Re: Doing some milling soon...

[B]Hey guys.... have any of you thought of any areas on the TC4 chassis that might stand to loose some weight....
I've milled out some of the center spine... probably moved the battery inboard by about 2mm.

And I've trimmed off the battery posts, and put a slot for taping.

With these mods I was able to get my balancing ballast down from like 25g to more like 6g.

I couldn't think of much else to do to get weight down that wouldn't weaken the chassis... so right now I'm at about 1450g.
