IGT8 988E drag assisted one-way

Available now from IGT8 and made for the Serpent 988E 1/8th scale electric car is the DAO drag assisted one-way set. The system works with silicone oil to increase the internal friction that slows down the motion of the front wheels when being off throttle. This effect will improve braking, steering at corner entry and it will also help with more consistency and faster lap times. The set includes the needed one-way pulley and it only fits the electric-powered 988E kit.
