Roche P12’17 floating servo plate & spring retainer

Coming from Roche and made for the P12-2017 pan car are a new 1.5mm forward carbon fibre floating servo plate as well as 2mm offset DVS-W shock spring retainer. Starting with the servo mount plate the part is machined from high-quality graphite material and it positions the steering servo 1.5mm forward which makes for a better steering link geometry especially when running Sanwa micro servos but also the micro-size offerings of other brands. Also new is the 2mm offset shock spring retainer for the P12-2017. It fits the DVS-W shock and it allows for improved spring preload adjustment.
