Schumacher Atom/CC brass mid weight

Coming from Schumacher and made for the Atom and Atom CC kit is a 120g brass mid weight. Ideal for use with the Atom/CC but also useful for racers using the alloy chassis with lightweight equipment. The part weighs in at 120g and helps to achieve the weight requirements for GT12 racing while also providing more grip and making for an easier to drive car. The front/rear weight distribution is optimised with this part fitted, very centrally, reducing the polar moment of the car and therefore improving handling. Adjustment screws to make each different battery fit perfectly are included.
