The cable is for this reduced suspension system supply, with a captured adjustable threaded pivotball, for very exact and low friction procedure.
Shocktower and bodymounts front / alu shock-risers
new 4.5mm dense carbon shocktower with 5 upper positioning holes the shocks and and 6 holes for roll-center roles. 1 situated adjustable bodymount , and 2 forward mounted adjustable bodymounts, all with flip-tops. The durable machined alu shock-risers in front allow for an even more onroad aimed angle of the shockabsorber producing more general hold and more predictable cornering.
Angled steering system / servo saver
The bell cranks are angled to cut back the angle of distinction between the full total caster and steering plane. Therefore you'll have less bump steer and a truer steering Ackermann through the entire range of suspension
Ackermann plates
Because of the design regarding the steering bell cranks whenever changing the Ackermann you won't need to adjust your steering tie rods. You merely will simply should adjust your end points in your radio..
