Re: pic: 6wd chassis - need feedback

It looks like there are only a couple different sizes of lightening holes. And they're mostly right triangles. It's pretty easy to estimate the weight savings of all the right triangles...length by width times thickness times number of triangles divided by two, times 0.10 lbs/inch cubed (density of aluminum).
