I watched a couple of videos on unsprung mass, this one isn't too bad.
Oh, just found one on our very topic specifically.
UNSPRUNG MASS — MYTHS AND REALITIES, Protean Electric & Lotus Engineering
Some of the comments are not buying it apparently.
The paper the video refers to is the first hit in Google using the search term:
UNSPRUNG MASS — MYTHS AND REALITIES, Protean Electric & Lotus Engineering
It is a PDF.
Last paragraph under "7-Conclusions"....................

While perceptible differences emerge with increased unsprung mass, on the whole they are small and unlikely to be apparent to an average driver. The nature and magnitude of the changes appears to be nothing that cannot be overcome by the application of normal engineering processes within a product development cycle. Conversely, the promise of individual wheel motor control shows good potential for substantial improvements in vehicle behaviour.
