RC Carbon Cavalieri D819/817 5mm carbon spacer

RC Carbon Cavalieri from Germany have introduced a new 5mm carbon fibre rear shock tower spacer for the HB Racing D819 and D817 kits. The spacer will act in three ways; it moves the rear wing 5mm backwards for improved downforce, to shifts the upper mounting position of the rear shock absorbers back for optimised dampening, and to also repositions the rear arms for an updated geometry. All three results in improved stability over rough sections of the track, during acceleration and over jumps. The spacer is machined from high-quality carbon fibre and it comes including suitable mounting hardware.
