Default Re: Weight loss

Let's see how can overcome this weight difference:

- Square hollow main and center shaft.
- 3Racing lightweight pulley adaptors.
- Square titanium screw set (>30 grams less only with this).
- Lightweight 1st and 2nd gear housings.
- Mugen titanium Pillowballs (lighter but softer, some break, not bend on crashes).
- Kawahara delring knuckle (comes with delrin screws if you're freaky with suspended weight).
- Titanium turnbuckles (I'm using some Yokomo that had lying on mine toolbox).
If you prefer the better quality, FiveStars does make a light weight pulley adaptors. And, for the light weight 1st & 2nd gear housing, adopt Team Active ones for the lightest.

Most important thing, though, is to ALWAYS CLEAN YOUR CAR. I have seen people trying their best to put their cars on diet, yet they rarely spend time cleaning the car.

All is just my opinion and what's on my car
