Egg comes in at 1420g without a lid. Weight limit fail. That said the plastic version had hit 1600g without back or lid. I can easily claw that 20g back without heavy machinery. Lid will have to be 2mm carbon fibre unless anyone wants to give me a 67 x 235 bit of 1mm. Still got bits of unpockeded alu oozing weight so I should be able to take what I need out of there. Wheel guards will just be folded HDPE for weight and simplicity.
Been hitting some stuff with it today, trying to find weakness. Found lots lol. It tends to knock some of the bearings loose on big hits, this caused the beater to shift to the left and wreck the end of the bearing pocket. Will fix with a file then have to ignore the ugly as no material/inclination to make another bulkhead. Fixing this is easy it just adds precious weight.
Any imaginative ways to remove weight without doing anything stupid?
Thanks.
