Semi Pro's Carbon 8ight

[kvrc]

semi pro no i am not a hater just a realist. yes you have spent a lot of money buying various lightweight parts that the cars i have weighed didnt have but we are talking about almost a pound here not a few ounces.
you are claiming your car weighs about 680 gms less than the lightest losi 8b i have weighed. that car had a lighter motor and esc combo than yours by about 50 or so gms. but did have a 500gm 4s 5000 pack.
your car between the carbon parts and battery choice will adds up to a 267gms savings.
your motor and esc is heavier than the one i weighed. so you are saying that the various lightweight pins and bearings add up to about a 450 gms or 1lb weight savings?
i can see maybee 5-6 oz but not 16.
the only reason i get into these arguments about weight is i dont want guys putting together a car, throwing it on the scales and be dumbfounded as to why their car weighs a pound more than what some other guys have reported.
if your car race ready is truely anywhere near 6.5 lbs then you have done something special.
