JP3D MetriCKs Enclosed Damper System

US based Custom 3D printing solutions company JP3D has released this Enclosed Damper System for CRC MetriCKs 1:12 chassis. The 3D printed rotary damper system replaces the stock exposed dampers with a fully enclosed system with the dampers printed in a very strong nylon composite material. The enclosed rotary dampers use a heavier grease, not included, than the stock dampers to achieve the same level of damping, but it stays very clean & consistent throughout the race event. The package comes complete with both L&R dampers as well as mounting screws. This damper system has been tested and raced by many CRC racers recently with podium finishes at US Indoor Champs and Hudy Indoor Champs.
