RC Maker GeoCarbon touring car tweak wheel set

RC Maker have introduced their all-new GeoCarbon tweak wheel set for EP and GP touring cars. The super lightweight wheels weight in at only 2.2g each and are precision machined to minimum tolerances to help de-tweak the car. Consisting of a less than half of a normal setup wheel construction, they serve the purpose of checking the tweak via lifting the chassis off the ground at one end only, and making sure the wheels leave the ground at the same point, being an extremely common way to de-tweak an on-road car. Using precision machined parts is far more accurate than using a normal wheel and tyre, and more accurate than a normal rubber O-ringed setup wheel. Having no buffer between the wheel and ground makes it far easier to feel when one wheel is lifting up earlier, as drivers can feel the abrupt bump on the setup board. This leads to more accurate and faster setting of tweak.
