Coming from Twister RC and made for the Tamiya T3-01 Dancing Rider trike are +1mm offset aluminium hex adapters. The clamping-design wheel adapters are made of high-quality aluminium and they come blue anodised and include all needed mounting hardware. Using the offset hexes will increase the overall width of the vehicle for improved rear side bite.
