Hi all,
My very first post on this board. I hope to be getting out of my Monster soon and onto a 959, which I cannot stop daydreaming about.
One of the things I like most about my Monster is how light it is. It's so agile and flickable, moreso than the 959 (although the 959 is more stable than the Monster). I was wondering about how to meaningfully lighten the 959. My ideas are:
- Lithium ion battery
- Carbon fiber wheels (although these are very expensive)
How else might you all suggest going about putting your 959 on a diet to make it handle even better?
(I know the 1299 (S?) is lighter than the 959 despite having a larger, heavier motor. I wonder what parts account for that difference in weight.)
Cheers,
-Curly
