CRC Rear axle ride height spacers

Pan car racers can now keep that rear ride height fine tuned with these rear ride height spacers from CRC in 0.25 mm increments. Foam tires wear a little bit each and every run, and now with these nice small steps in ride height, you can keep your car passing tech and handling consistently throughout the entire race day. The 1 mm spacers have been coming with CRC 12th and 10th scale car kits for some time now, and now you can properly complete the set. Each of the trees of inserts are sold separately so you can just get the ones you need, or you can get them in a complete set if you don’t have any at all yet, and/or want to use them on a different brand of pan car. Available in 0.25mm, 0.50mm and 0.75mm versions.
