The Factory Team titanium turn buckles shaved off another 3.5 grams. I also bought the Factory Team motor mount, but that was only good for 1 gram of savings

I ordered the lundsford titanium hinge pins, so I'm hoping that will save approx. 5 or more grams. Once I reduce the wire/plug that goes to the battery I think I'll be sitting around the 1475 mark.

The only place left I think I can shave weight is maybe switching to more carbon parts. I ordered the carbon rear tower, and chassis braces. No actual replacement chassis's seem to exist anymore

The battle continues!
