How much does weight matter?

[ImJustme]

Hi Guys,

So I'm at a cross roads regarding which buggy/chassis I'm going to use to get back into the hobby.

I quickly bought a few second hand rollers a few weeks ago and through a bit of late night ebay madness ending up winning different auctions so obviously want to keep one and sell the other.

Anyhow, as I don't know much about new stuff, I got to think about weight and how much of an effect it has on the cars etc, so I did a comparision.

The comparision is based upon the rolling chassis, set of identical wheels and tyres with inserts (in rear), rear wings, but no bodies.


Chassis #1 is 950gm (no weights)
Chassis #2 is 1050gm (but does have a 20gm servo brass weight)

If I placed the same servo, esc, motor. battery etc into each chassis - am I going to notice or see a big difference between the 2?

Going on JUST the above information which chassis would you run?

Both buggies are 'current' models from respective manufacturers.

Thanks.
