what's the total weight of an xmod?
150g?
then 2500/150= 16.7
so each gram (assuming that the xmod represents a 2500lb tuned car)
is 16.7 scale pounds.
but if these are sporty representative, then we have 3000/150= 20
so each gram would be like 20 lbs
but the cars represent normal cars that weight about 4000.
so 1 gram = 26.7 scale lbs
so .3 grams is 5.1-8.1 lbs saved
but also at this scale, we have to take power-weight in consideration
how many g/cm of torque does the motor have?
he'd have a scale 2-4lb/hp power-weight ratio. really really good. and tires are more grippy at this scale as well
