I've also been working with Wolfpack Radicals on the R40.

He wants to make other parts and will get with me later on that, but i'm testing a prototype 2 speed he made for the car.

it includes a titanium 2 speed shaft and TC3 2 speed that drops about 20 grams of weight from the car (and it's all rotating mass).

I've got to give him some measurements from the car tonight and discuss further information with him, but he says he'd put it into production if there's enough interest. The TC3 2 speed is much MUCH smaller in diameter than the HPI 2 speed.
you are droping 20 grams of rotating mass correct.but are you going to add that 20 grams as dead weight to bring the car back up tp the legal minimum weight?
