BMT introduce new 016GT option parts

Italian company BMT has introduced new option parts for the 016GT 1/8th on-road car. First up is a new aluminium main chassis plate that is made using a different grade material. The updated chassis will produce more overall traction while improving handling at the same time. Also new are front lower arm mounts in +2mm specification. The parts raise the suspension attachment point by 2mm which results in a lowered roll centre which is meant to improve steering especially on lower grip tracks. Also new and made for the front of the 016GT is a front bulkhead brace for improved steering emphasis while new 2mm front bulkhead spacers allow to change the front dynamic camber. Last but not least comes a new 17T 1st gear pinion.
