The lightweight parts (pucks, slipper eliminators) are all unnecessary. While they make a subtle difference, it is not a great enough difference to measure on the time sheets (you certainly can't tell which cars do and don't have these parts watching them run).
It would result in a more expensive kit that would sell in smaller numbers. This is messy and less profitable. TLR has probably done very well selling parts packs for steering, chassis kits, and Lauren transmission. It would have cost much more to keep rev'ing the kit.
