Weight difference between new S1 chassis and carbon fibre chassis.
 

I just want to know if any one knows the difference in weight between the S1 chassis and the carbon fibre chassis. I want to put a little more weight on my car and I am not sure which chassis would be heavier. I want to add more natural weight onto my car without having to add lead weights. I am presently running the first carbon fibre SX chassis and it is very light.

S1 chassis then if you want more natural weight

Approx about 16g.

the S1 chassis will flex more than a carbon one too, which will potentially alter your grip and handling

I ummed and arred about S1 Vs Carbon last year, but for me I felt I just had to pick one, stick with it and learn the car.

I've got the "stiff" carbon car and had it working well for me at EPR yesterday. With the Carbon one I have added weight to it, which I understand people don't do with the S1

a lot of guys run a fairly large slab of lead under the chassis, over 100g in a lot of cases. So you would still need to add a fair bit to the S1 if the chassis weight is only 16g different

I was wondering about durability of S1 compared to CF. Is there a gap between those materials ? Because on the price there is a gap ...

When Running the S1 chassis found it a lot better with no weight.
