TESTED!! Does Wheel Weight Matter in RC Drifting??

Shoutout to MedicBilly for getting me to go down this rabbit hole!!! :)

If you follow the channel, you know I am a fan of weight reduction in my rc drift cars. Typically, that looks at carbon fiber chassis and removing unnecessary weight through screws, etc.

BUT - MedicBilly started looking at the wheels themselves - and found that some wheels are noticeably lighter weight!

In this video, I take various wheels to see what the weight difference is and test them on my track to see if I can tell a difference.
