The medium composite is softer than Graphite material and thus generates more mechanical grip on the car and improves side traction. Recommended for low traction asphalt tracks and very-low grip carpet tracks. The hubs allow full adjustability of the axle height to adapt the car to every condition. The aluminium front steering plates and rear ARS plates are easily mounted depending on the hub’s location. The design of the hub is universal with the same part used at all four corners with corresponding extensions. Source: Xray [teamxray.com]…
