Schumacher CAT PB +3mm Wide Rear Straps

Schumacher has released these new +3mm Wide Rear Straps for its CAT PB 1:10 4WD Buggy that offer increased bump handling whilst also providing added stability through higher speed sections. A narrower rear hex will be needed to allow the width of the buggy to remain the same. To keep the same width the hex width must be reduced by 1.5mm each side. The team also recommend shortening the rear link on the hub and softening the rear spring by one rate when changing to these straps. The straps must be used as a pair and offer the most benefits in medium to high grip conditions.
