it is extremly cool.
think if all the controls weighed less and you did this in a race car, roadcourse car and autocross, you would loose driver weight, 140-180 lbs., the seat or seats all the dash crap, etc.
Probably a good 200-300 lbs. or more maybe, even over racing components and save alot on high dollar CF compnenets. Not bad.
No worries either without a driver, could push it harder and if it flips and burns, well no one would die.
Of course takes all the fun out of driving the car, the real fun part of racing, RC is cool but when you get to race a car for real.............well that cannot be explained for most of us.
