The Futaba Steering Wheel Set Large 7PX represents precision engineering at its finest in the realm of RC radio control accessories. Weighing just 0.03 kilograms (approximately 0.06 pounds), the steering wheel is engineered for minimal mass whilst maintaining structural integrity and tactile feedback. The chrome finish is applied to ensure durability and corrosion resistance, protecting the wheel from sweat, moisture and the general handling it receives during active use in the UK's varied climate conditions.
