1up Racing LowPro UltraLite wing washers

Designed for off-road use, these new 1up Racing LowPro ultraLite wing washers feature a smooth, low-profile design without any cutouts that pick up dirt during less-than-perfect landings. The oversized 16mm outer diameter is preferred by factory drivers as it reduces wing flex, aiding in rear-end stability. Precision machined from 7076-T6 aluminium and finished with dark black anodising and mirror-like chamfers for exceptional looks and durability. These also look killer on drag cars using screws to secure the body and the low-profile design improves aerodynamics.

Add extra durability and precision with RDRP’s new aluminium steering blocks for Team Associated’s sixth generation of 2WD vehicles. Sharing the geometry with the kit’s 4mm offset plastic parts, they are a direct replacement without influencing your dialled set-up too much. The black anodised aluminium parts are labelled with laser-etched L and R marks, and of course the well-known RDRP logo. Silver chamfered edges round out the stealthy factory look.
