But based off of a simple calculation I believe the area of the steel is not only the smallest in the 1.75x0.095" which should be the lightest, but it's also the strongest based off of I(cm^4).
I still want a lighter flywheel and rotors but I'll still be away from 3k fully fueled by 31.5 lbs. I need to find that some where.
O forgot about a racing seat. Might get 10+ pounds there plus the drivers seatbelt minus the difference of a racing seatbelt.
