Re: Project 1:10
You're partially right. acceleration will improve, hanlding will not improve unless it is done right. Much of the weight of the SVX is down low and centered. Removing low centered weight simply raises your center of gravity and ride height which is why the same SVX with an auto will outhandle the same SVX with a manual (assuming everything else remains the same).

-Bill p.s. problem I've had is finding 16" DOT tires that are wider than 275 (which I'm currently running).

Re: Project 1:10
Understand you idea, but knowing that that much steel is around me and the design of the car and its abilities in a crash allows me to sleep better. One of the reasons I bought the beast. Worth the increase in gas consumption.
good luck! |

You shouldn't think too much then. I know we could have ours down to around 2500lbs wet but it would handle much like my f-250 does.
