Team C TC10 carbon steering stiffener set

New from Team C and made for the TC10 and TR10 1/10th electric touring cars is a carbon fibre steering stiffener set. The set connects the steering posts with the inner floating steering servo mount to reinforce the front section of the chassis. It is understood that the assembly also allows to run the car with a floating steering which in turn makes for less influence of the chassis flex on the steering characteristics. Included in the set are new inner and outer servo mounts, a carbon fibre upper plate as well as a carbon fibre steering post brace.
