Yeah Racing have introduced an aluminium wheelie bar set with shock absorbers for Tamiya’s WR02 2WD off-road vehicle. The all-aluminium construction helps to pull more stable wheelies for a longer time as the shock absorber soaks up any imperfections of the track, both on-road and off-road. Rubber wheels securely keep the car on track while the choice of a single or dual damper setup allows to adapt the damping to the track conditions. The set fits the WR02, WR02G and GF01 chassis and it comes with all needed parts including the shock absorbers.
