Factory Team Diff Decoder 17mm 1:8 Wheel Hex Adapter

To enhance the tuning capabilities of its Diff Decorder in 1:8 offroad vehicles, Factory Team has introduced a 17mm wheel hex adapter.  Now, mechanics can quickly and easily check and compare differential hardness unobtrusively at the wheels using this handy option.  Launched earlier this year the Diff Decoder displays a consistent, measured value for differential hardness rather than relying on an estimation or feeling. This measurement can be used to build differentials to a specific hardness, fine-tune to improve vehicle performance, understand the differences between oil brands and temperature, or to replicate an existing differential.
