Update:
Starting with weight reduction.
My Mini-Z weighs in at around 204.4 grams w/batteries and body
I'm going to reduce the weight of my car. I'm aiming for 180 grams track weight.
So, alloy looks nice and all but its time to think about functionality.
Modifications made today for weight:
Stock Driveshaft = 1.8g
Reflex aluminum Driveshaft = .6g
= total savings 1.2g
3racing steering arm = 1.1g
Stock plastic steering arm = .4g = total savings = .7g
3racing front bulkhead = 2.1g
Stock plastic front bulkhead = 1.4g
Trimmed plastic front bulkhead = 1.0g = total savings = 1.1g
Hobby wire thick antenna = .7g
Stock xmod evo antenna = .2g = total savings = .5g
3racing steel swing shaft= 1.4g
stock swing shaft = .5g = .9g x 4 = total savings = 3.6g
Final product for the day? 7.1 gram weight reduction
Thats right the car now weighs 197.3g
Not bad for a single day. I've also got some special parts in the works with triple X that you won't find on any other MA-010 to make this car a real champion. In the end this will be a one of a kind project car!
