1up Racing LowPro bullet plug grips

1up Racing have introduced their new LowPro bullet plug grips, a neat and tidy way to stop blowing up speed controls by short-cutting them.

The precision CNC machined aluminium grips are finished with dark black anodising and easy-to-read laser etching. The silver outer ring provides excellent grip and cool looks. The grips are secured using a drop of CA glue and they are also available as a black and red set.
