JQ Products THECar gear kit & anti-roll bars

JQ Products THECar gear kit & anti-roll bars

JQ Products have new option parts for their THECar 1/8th off-road buggy available in the form of the THE Even Smoother Gearing set and updated front and rear anti-roll bars. The new gear set is the evolution of the Smooth Gearing Kit released back in 2011. With the current trend of hard-packed and often sugar-treated tracks the updated gear kit helps to lay the power down in the most efficient way as it includes 45T/14 front and rear crown gears, a 49T main gear and a 14T pinion. The new gearing makes for an even smoother and more controllable acceleration with less wheel spin and better overall throttle control. Also new are THECar White Edition anti-roll bars with the front wires being available in 2.2mm, 2.4mm, 2.5mm and 2.6mm diameter while the rear ones come in 2.3mm, 2.4mm, 2.6mm, 2.8mm and 3.0mm diameter.
