How much does weight affect racing performance?
Right now with weight I am more concerned with balance than I am with overall weight. Last I checked I was weighing in at 1404 grams with a 51% bias to the right side......so I may opt out on the heatsink as it will just increase the Right side bias......
As for overall weight, I am far from an expert but the touring class min is 1320 grams so I can clearly put the car on a diet if I wanted to. Although I am about to add some aluminum parts for durability like steering assembly etc. so I am kinda porking it up a bit.....
