65 lbs at the wheel? No thanks.

That’s actually pretty amazing. Despite the fact that the “unsprung weight” comment is a bit misleading, being able to do that in only 65 lbs is pretty incredible. I do worry about it having a plastic stator though, there are some incredible plastics available.
Still, the handling of a vehicle with 65+ lbs at the wheel would probably takequite a bit of getting used to!

edit: all the typos from using my phone

if it's replacing the brakes as well...i'm sure 65 lbs/corner is net weight savings for the car overall
