This is an interesting discussion - please keep'em coming.

Paul, I'm smilling as we have all thought the same way as you and yes I sort of agree that it's finding the right set up that SHOULD make it work BUT BUT we are talking the best drivers in the UK/Europe and even the World have tried all this and weight is weight no matter what you do.
I believe it's something to do with the speed these cars are travelling these days. They are getting too fast for the scale and hence weight is the way to go - It's the future.
Finally I will leave you with another thought.
If with weight a driver can lap quicker than without the weight, why why would he chase the set up for less weight. Why when he can win will he do that. We can run 15 mins with Lipos and have so much power we put slower mtors in. Why ? Enjoyed the discusion but just put the weight in your car and enjoy racing.
If you do find that magic set up though there would be plenty of people would love to have it.
I am smilling while typing so thats good i suppose!!!!
