At silverstone with it's high grip level a bit of extra weight up front will make the car easier to drive.

Um yes i wish i had put more weight in the front of my car

Some of the parts are over engineered (which isnt a bad thing)
Which i think is why a dex210 is a naturally a heavy car and designed around this factor ie the big bores 14mm hexs instead of 12mm
So paul i think although you could lighten it i think there is more to be found in a +??mm chassis than a lighter car
