Re: Lightened Flywheel

["chris jevens" <rocco1987@hotmail.com>]

The lightened flywheel will lower the amount of mass that is being spooled 
up... thus allowing for quicker accels, and decels. Less rotaion mass to 
spool up means a faster spooling motor. There are negatives to this 
though... The more mass you take off of the rotating mass yes it will spool 
quicker, but then if you keep taking mass off (if you also lightened your 
crank) it will take more fuel to keep the motor moving... For the general 
rocco crowd that knows more about this please confirm this as being right... 
is it? I just can't ezxplain it more than that... chris
