RC Maker Awesomatix damper O-ring tool

RC Maker have introduced their new damper O-ring tool for Awesomatix touring cars. It is a simple, yet effective tool that aids in seating the O-ring into the damper, without pressurising the damper. It allows all excess oil to flow around the tool and out of the damper, which is crucial to the smooth assembly with the P45R round damper rubbers. Not only does it seat the O-ring and allows the excess oil to flow, it also acts as a scoop to get the excess oil out of the area, which is unwanted there when pressing the bearing in. When twisted it will act as a paddle to remove the oil from the slot. The tool is made from high-quality carbon fibre and it is available now.
