Klinik RC 1:8 Offroad adjustable brake collars

Klinik RC has released their new adjustable brake collars intended for 1:8 Offroad racing. In the past brake bias has been a difficult adjustment to make that usually needs to be done on the bench by ‘feel’ prior to taking to the racetrack. Balancing front to rear balance is critical to squeeze that last bit of speed into each corner and have stability at the same time. How many times have you said to yourself “I need a just touch more rear brake” on the drivers stand, only to forget to make the adjustment before the next run? Now you can make that adjustment right in pit lane in seconds! Now all your pit person needs is a 5.5mm nut driver and he can make quick, easy, precise adjustments in just a few seconds. Our unique rounded ball collars allow for nearly 45deg angles to get around the fuel tank and make that quick adjustment! Simply replace your standard brake collars with our adjustable brake collars and get on the track to get that perfect balance! One collar is black and one is red for easy identification of front/rear adjustments.
