Samix Enduro brass rear weight set

Coming from Samix and made for the Element RC Enduro trail trucks is a brass rear weight set. The 2-piece weights add 92g of weight to the lowest part of the truck which helps to greatly lower the overall centre of gravity while helping to improve rear traction and stability. The weights are designed to clamp around the rear axle housing, they sport a black surface coating for corrosion resistance and machined edge details for looks. Due to their design it is also possible to run two rows of weighs per axle, adding a total of 184g of weight.
