STRC Jammin SCRT10 option parts

STRC have released a number of new optional parts for the Jammin SCRT10. All the new products have been precision CNC machined from high-grade aluminium and grey anodised. The new caster blocks and steering knuckle greatly improves durability and add that great factory looks to the front suspension of your Jammin SCRT10. The Steering Knuckle increases the steering angle over the stock plastic unit for even tighter turning radius, and for precise fit and tolerance, the bearing holes are drilled after the part has been anodized to ensure the tightest tolerance possible around the bearings. New  heavy duty front and rear shock towers will not only add great looks to your Jammin SCRT10, but it will eliminate the flex in your shock tower, keeping your suspension operating true to its design. The new center bulkhead will eliminate any flex in the center transmission area due to heavy torque loads from powerful brushless motors. The 12mm Machined Hex adapters securely mounts on your Jammin SCRT10 wheels and tires with no chance of it being “round off” under heavy torque and power loads. Finally there are front and rear chassis braces that provide the front and rear end of your chassis with better support, and prevent the chassis from “buckling” under hard landing and bending the center driveshafts.
