It is supposed to help the speed control run cool. Tekin recommends two caps. I just used a large cap.
Weight reduction
So why go to the expense to meet minimum weight. I lost 3.5 ounces. That's 6.5% less weight. Acceleration is inversely proportional to weight.
I would accelerate 6.5% more slowly with the same power at the heavier weight.
Rubber tire to asphalt cornering power increases with lighter weight as explained earlier.
I should have more g's of cornering power. Every little bit helps on a race car. 3.5 ounces on a touring car is huge.
Next a possible rotating mass change to the rear drive axles. There is a two fold improvement there. Less mass on the car and at the same time less mass to rotate. I'll see if some aluminum bones will hold up in the rear.
