PSM S35-3 modular rear hub weight system

Coming from PSM and complimenting their modular steering knuckle weight system is the new modular rear hub weight kit. The balance weight system will be attached to the rear hub and can be equipped with up to five 4.5g weights per side – with two pairs already included in the kit. The additional weight added to the hub creates more pressure to the wheel, which can be an traction advantage in many cases without affecting the suspension setup. Installation is simple with only two screws, making it easy to maintain the hubs or to adjust different weight settings in no time. PSM recommend using this system on tracks where the racing line is dry and dust free.
