BMT 016GT Evo rear end conversion kit

Italian brand BMT have introduced their new Evo rear end conversion kit for the 016GT 1/8th GT car. The set does away with the standard pivot ball upper arm in favour of a system similar to 1/8th on-road kits, using a separate turnbuckle. The new geometry will make for increased dynamic caster values and thus smoother cornering mid corner, improved steering and less front tyre wear. The assembly is also lighter which optimises the car’s weight balance. The set includes the updated rear hubs, upper links as well as bulkhead covers and adjustable carbon fibre upper link mounts.
