Lightened Body

i have the Nissan skyline with the drift motor ball bearing new rims and tire up grade well if you plan on racing you xmod and not really slamming it into everything then why not lighten the body. The only draw back is that it will affect the strengnth of the body so if you slam into something it might break but if you have access to a dremel tool the start trimming everything that looks like overkill like on mine i removed the mirrors and completely removed the mounts for the mirrors and i trimmed the front bumper. I trimmed most of the bracing out of the body not all but just enough to lighten the body it really helped on the cornering and the drifting and it increased the top speed and acceleration i havent found any problems with this besides weaking the body a little but seems to be a good mod
