In a single word, Yes!
It lightens the load on the motor, lessens torque throughout the chassis drive chain. Lighter loads get the vehicle up to speed quicker.
Sort of what bearings do but with less weight.

absolutely!!!! i received mine in the mail yesterday and was amazed at the difference it made. my cars seem to run much smoother and quieter. i didn't believe that it would make a difference if any at first, but now that i am running them i am a true believer..

Yes of course awd takes up more battery cause it makes the motor work harder to turn 2 more wheels. And the carbon fiber driveshaft is worth buying because of its lightness the motor will be able to turn eaier. Making your car faster but I suggest you egt bearings with a carbon fiber driveshaft.

Rotating mass is decreased, therefore it spins faster. In layman's terms, it goes faster.
