CRC Spur gears, top plate & camber gauges

CRC have released a number of new products starting with these new molder spur gears. The new spur gears use a 16 ball design to increase contact surface so your diff nut requires less tension to keep the diff from slipping. Less tension on the diff parts means more racing and less rebuilding. These new gears also use 3/32″ balls rather than 1/8″ to keep the rotating weight down and not sacrifice punch by adding the extra balls. Available in 76, 80, 88 and 96T. Also new is the rear top plate which closes in the rear pod, making for a stiffer, stronger pod. This does add some weight as you will have to replace the micro left bulkhead with another motor plate, but is especially helpful in modified where the extreme horsepower can cause some flex. This also makes the rear bottom plate more resistant to breakage during crashes. Finally there are new carbon fiber camber gauges that allow you to quickly and accurately set your camber. Works on 12th and 10th scale cars with measurements from 0.5 to 3.0 in 0.5 increments.
