NathoBuilds titanium lower arm studs

NathoBuilds titanium lower arm studs are a great way to help you maintain your 1/10th buggy, truck or drag car more effectively, without the worry of stripping out screws on the lower shock. The hex design sports a flange neck that will allow you to firmly grip the stud, which will firmly tighten the arm and moves the shocks 3mm forward in the car, giving you more clearance from the spring to the turnbuckle. This design also improves cars handling on low and high bite surface.
