IGT8 1/8th on-road DAO Drag Assisted One Way kit

IGT8 have introduced their new drag assisted one way kit for 1/8th scale on-road cars. 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. Tested extensively by the IGT8 team, the DAO was officially debuted last weekend at the 2019 US Nitro Cup with great results as Paolo Morganti took the TQ in the 1/8 class and Rafael Angulo finished 3rd while Ricardo Garri won the Master class. The system is available for ARC, Capricorn, Infinity, Mugen, Xray and Shepherd cars with a variant for Serpent kits coming soon.
