Coming from BMT and made for their 016GT and 801GT Pro 1/8th on-road kits are new -0.5mm wheel hubs. Narrower than the standard parts the hubs will reduce overall width which will allow for additional adjustment possibilities if track conditions are calling for it. The hubs feature a 1mm pitch tread meaning they have to be used with their dedicated wheel nuts.

The clutch bell is made of high-quality aluminium and it comes with a hard surface finish for wear and looks.
