Thanks.
I've got them installed and the front chassis brace needs part A6 from your original tb-02 kit parts.

I don't think they are any lighter than their plastic ones as there are additional alloy mounting parts but I guess the carbon doesn't flex as much as the plastic so it may help in that area.

They also make removing the motor and pinion gear a lot easier as there is no more spur gear cover and 8 screws.
