The same high impact foam used in touring car racing. Inside the foam bumper are 3 alloy posts for extra secure foam bumper mounting.

DeadFly 1/12th & TC AWB brass weights

From DeadFly, comes a whole host of brass parts for various classes and cars, starting with 12th scale. This first in class adjustable LiPo weight set AWB is made specifically for 12th scale and GT12. This two piece adjustable set interlocks and allows various options to adjust left to right balance on a traditional transverse chassis layout or more importantly front to rear weight bias adjustment on the inline cars such as the Awesomatix A12. Next up specifically for the A12, these under chassis weights are perfectly designed to adjust the F/R weight bias mounted as low as possible. Also great for balancing the top plate left to right depending on electrics used. Secured via double sided tape with an M3 threaded hole to aid in the removal. Finally their new AWB for full size TC LiPos. Weighing in at 38g it is perfect for modified drivers who utilise LCG packs, the exciting part of the AWB for TC, is it has a 7g bias from centre depending on which orientation you place the weight. So if you’re in the hunt for more steering run the heavier part to the back. More stable feel needed, run the heavier part at the front, it’s that simple.
