HB Racing D8 series front 2-dot B mount

Coming from HB Racing and made for their 1/8th scale D8 series buggy and truggy platforms is a new 2-dot B front suspension mount. This new B (+0.7mm) front suspension hanger is a middle setting between the 1-dot and 3-dot mounts. It was developed based on feedback from HB Racing’s team drivers as a good all-around setup. The B mount allows racers to fine-tune the front kick-up and roll centre as it controls the location of the rearmost end of the front suspension hinge pins. A higher B mount location makes the car smoother and easier to drive when the grip is high. The mount comes machined from aluminium and is anodised in black for wear and looks.
