For reference I saved 25 grams just by upgrading to the carbon gear shafts and titanium chassis screws.
Now to give an example of how this may effect handling, lets say your car is slightly top heavy in stock form, well instead of stupidly add more weight to the chassis making it heavier to overcome the top heavyness, the smarter thing to do is first trying to remove the top heaviness THEN if that isn't enough you could start adding weight to strategic locations. This is how they do it on real Formula 1 cars the gold standard for racing technology. They first design the car to be as light as possible then they start adding ballasts in strategic locations to get the weight up to racing spec.
Finally the other point is if you see something as a waste of money that doesn't mean it's useless and a waste of money to somebody else. You don't have all the answers so should let other people decide how they want to go about in doing things.
The guy just asked where he could get a Tobee gear set, he didn't ask whether or not you think it's a waste of money.
its not worth going down to spcific grams its like makeing something and makeing the mesurments to 0.000000001 its pointless i would always listen to tony im even makeing a rally mini to his web spec
