The kit includes the curved steering rack assembly, bulkhead, top deck mount, stiffeners, turnbuckles and all necessary mounting hardware.
Xtreme Aerodynamics have introduced the CZ1, a state-of-art 1/10 Nitro body. Developed using advanced CFD technique and meticulously tested on different track conditions and layouts, the CZ1 is able to generate an outstanding amount of downforce thus massively improving overall performance in term of traction and corner speed. Deep analysis have been carried out on balance consistency though all corner phases in order to provide predictive and smooth handling. Furthermore, the wing is prepared to work with Xtreme carbon side plates, with the profile already marked for easier cutting. These optional plates increase rear stability in high speed corner and high slip angle condition. EFRA approved.
