Schumacher Atom GT12 centre weight

Schumacher Atom GT12 centre weight

Schumacher have announced the release of a centre weight for the Atom GT12 car. Traditionally GT12 cars are underweight and the positioning of additional ballast is a great tuning aid. This new centre weight for the Atom adds 40 grams of weight straight in the centre of the car, giving a great deal of benefits to the cars performance including a lower centre of gravity and a reduced polar moment. The black anodised weight is also stronger than the kit part and makes for easier assembly.
