LMR Brake Balls brake linkage cushions

Nemo Racing from the UK have introduced the new LMR Brake Balls, specially-designed cushions for the brake linkages of nitro off-road kits. The rubber parts are used on the brake linkages, between the brake cam links and the brake collars as demonstrated here. The brake balls improve brake consistency, reliability and overall feeling while making the car brake smoother and improving braking over surface changes and bumps and reduce the risk of brake grab. They will stay consistent over time and not fatigue like other methods. The kit includes two black balls, two red balls, and eight O-rings. The developers state that the black balls are slightly harder than red and that they are best used in warmer conditions.
