Hey, you do know that although removing the transaxle, wheels, suspension, etc makes the car lighter, it's definitely not going to be faster :shock:

Are you chasing a shell weight ?

The coplete car should be around 1100 kg
W/O rear junk 950 kg
Shell only 250 kg.

If you can't afford the exta $1 o'gasoline I'd leave it be :shock:

I'm guessing that the "rear junk" is the gearbox/de-Dion assembly.
