With a rigid wheelie bar, it is possible for the car’s rear tires to lose traction when the wheelie bar wheels abruptly hit the ground. With this DR10M FT suspension wheelie bar conversion from Team Associated, you’ll dampen this impact, allowing for greater traction and control at launch without sacrificing the main function of the wheelie bar. Quick and easy to install it features rigid, lightweight carbon fibre arms, a slop and friction-free ball bearing pivot with easy height adjustment and a threaded aluminium shock for fine tunability.
