EBRC S35 Front Hub Weight System

New from EBRC, the brand of newly crowned 9-time British 1:8 Nitro Buggy National Champion Elliott Boots, comes this Front Hub Weight System for the Sworkz S35 1:8 Buggy platform.  Engineered to optimise steering response during acceleration phases that occur while decelerating, the system includes a carbon fibre plate that securely holds the steering hubs in position, enhancing overall stability and steering precision.  Anodised Brass Weights, 2 x 5gram and 2 x 10gram, allow fine-tuning of the front-end weight distribution based on driving needs.  The modular weight system improves steering sensitivity during deceleration-induced acceleration, providing better control and responsiveness.  Also new from EBRC for the S35 are Hard Coated 7075-T6 Aluminium Front & Rear Shock Standoffs which feature enhanced surface hardness for superior wear and corrosion resistance.  They provide the structural integrity required to support the shock absorbers while maintaining a lightweight profile to optimise overall performance.  The front and rear shock standoff set ensures precise alignment and coordination between the suspension systems, resulting in improved handling, stability, and overall performance of the buggy.
