OfficinaRC brass smart shims

Following the release of their alu smart shims, OfficinaRC have introduced these new brass smart shims. They have applied a laser on the side of the shim in order to immediately recognise its size, saving time and making everything easier. Now you will no longer have any doubts about which size it is, at a glance you will be able to identify the fitted size and no longer need a caliper. The material used, brass, plays a fundamental role, increasing the weight at the lowest point in order to help lower the centre of gravity and make the car even more stable. Measurements are defined by solid lines and segmented lines. The solid ones indicate millimetres and the segmented ones indicate half millimetres. The zig-zag line indicates the 1.75mm one. Available in the following sizes, 3x9x1.0mm (0.50g), 3x9x1.5mm (0.72g), 3x9x1.75mm (0.83g), 3x9x2.0mm (0.95g), 3x9x2.5mm (1.20g), 3x9x3.0mm (1.44g) and 3x9x3.5mm (1.66g).
