Team Bomber HQ lightweight clamp hub
1:12 specialists Team Bomber from Japan has released this new HQ lightweight clamp hub for its AK12 series chassis. Designed to lighten the drive system and improve the rotation accuracy directly linked to driving performance, they are made from high-strength, high-quality 7075 aluminium material. The design uses waste-free materials and is approximately 30% lighter (about 3g → 2g) compared to standard products. Additionally, they use a counterweight shape that optimises rotational balance, making for a smooth high precision rotation. This makes the cars’s movement a whole lot sharper and reduces traction loss during cornering. This provides a solid advantage, especially for stock class users looking to harness limited power. Also, the bis in the clamp section, which contributes to the lighter weight, was changed from the traditional M2.5 to the M2 bis. For concerns about torque shortage due to small diameter, adopting a high-strength specialised steel plated small head cap bisque ensures reliable tightening torque, and you don’t have to worry about loosening.
