The range includes two 2mm carbon fibre gearbox height adjustment plates, with the T-shaped plated also raising the RF and RR suspension mounts, that can be used separately or stacked to achieve the desired driveshaft angle while the two optional -2mm and -4mm 3-gear front-mid motor plates allowing to lower the motor for an overall lower centre of gravity. By adjusting the gearbox height and lowering the chassis ride height, more forward traction, and less chassis roll in corners can be achieved. All parts are available separately, allowing to mix and match for the desired combination of gearbox, motor and chassis height. A full explanation of the accessible height options can be found here.
