Vision Racing LD3 +3mm front ballstud mounting plate

Vision Racing has introduced this all new billet aluminium +3mm front ballstud mounting plate for the LD3 1:10 2WD Buggy from Schumacher.  This plate allows lower roll center settings without the use of spacers.  Spacers increase the sheer point and give you less ballstud threads engaged, which weakens the front end from those inevitable hard impacts. The mount gives you that structural integrity back with the billet one piece T-7075 design, while removing the need for a nylock nut.
