Gizmo GZ1 2017 update kit & hard lower arms

Coming from Gizmo Racing are the new GZ1 2017 update kit and hard lower A-arms. Starting with the update package, the set will bring older spec GZ1 kits to full 2017 specifications by including the V2 upper arm kit, a new carbon fibre chassis, carbon fibre side rails, new diff/spool outdrives and also new low-friction belts. Also available for the GZ1 are hard carbon fibre lower A-arms. They offer less twist and flex than the standard arms, resulting in a more responsive car at the expend of a little overall grip. The hard arms can be used in combination with the standard wishbones in order to achieve a different car balance.
