1up Racing carbon fibre body washers

1up Racing have introduced their new carbon fibre body washers for 1/10th touring cars. They increase the lifespan of the body and do away with annoying scratches and scuffs from the body mounts as they attach to the inside of the body using 3M extreme adhesive tape. Even as the body ages the mounting holes will remain perfect and crack free and they use easy peel-and-stick application. The washers are only 0.25mm thick and a set of four weighs less than 0.5g. 6.5mm inner diameter fits all popular 1/10 touring cars. 1/12 and 1/8 on-road variants are at a later stage as well as 1/8 off-road pieces with feedback from Ryan and Louis Cavalieri.
