Schumacher Mi7 brass shorty LiPo weight set

New from Schumacher for the Mi7 touring car is this brass shorty LiPo weight set. The set offers perfect central weight balance placement when using shorty batteries in the Mi7 and provides a significantly lower centre of gravity which in turn makes the car easier to drive and have more corner speed. Especially useful on carpet or small outdoor tarmac tracks with modified motors, it is only compatible with the V2 alloy chassis which can be identified with the additional LiPo mount holes and was shipped after 30/10/2020. In total it adds 93g, the perfect amount when switching from stick to shorty LiPo’s.
