Glad to yours arrived Rob 
Pepos, if you have any questions about the flywheel (technical or general) please let me know and post them here and I can answer them for you and others can learn too

The disadvantage though is that in long trips in highways, travelling in high speeds with a loaded car, let's say four people, it's difficult for the car to mentain high speed and suffers a lot especially in uphills.This happens cause the engine has no place to store the kinetic energy needed to meet situations like above.
That's the case i was told.
Don't know if this argument has basis in car technology technically speaking but seems pretty logic.Sorry for the long question but had to be specific.
Correct, Wrong?
Please enlighten us.

Some technicians argue that to lighten the flywell in a car has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that you gain instant response and a lot of "reprize" in the first three gears meaning that track race cars need to be like that.F1 cars don't have a flyweel at all they say. Power goes directly to the gear box.This happens cause less moving mass has to be tranfered in the wheels.

Not to fuel the fire, so to speak, but the idea that a lightened flywheel makes traveling up a hill harder for a car is completely preposterous.
The only time the lighter flywheel can make driving more difficult is during initial engagement. You must have heard him say starting on a hill will be harder, and it will. Once you are moving, going up the hill will be easier as technically there is less mass to move up the hill AND there is less rotating mass (reduced inertia) within the motor, allowing it to operate more efficiently.
Keep any responses to this debate contained in PM's please!

alright! so does that mean you sent them a sample flywheel for them to work with?
