Factory Team B7 HD 69mm Universals | Vented Slippers

New from Factory Team are these much-anticipated HD 69mm Universals for the RC10B7. These universals allow for more free suspension movement as a result from less mechanical bind that is present with the conventional CVA design. They are only compatible with HRC hubs and require the use of the included 5x10x4mm bearings and crush tubes. Also new for the B7 are Vented Slipper Clutch Plates and an Aluminium Anti-Roll Bar Mount. The Vented Slipper Clutch Plates allow for debris to be flushed from the slipper pad assembly creating a more consistent slipping action. The Alu Anti-Roll Bar Mount utilises a smooth plastic bushing that allows for smooth rotation of the Anti-Roll Bar in the durable aluminium mount.
