Overview
The FMS FCX24M Brass Wheel Counterweight is a premium upgrade part designed specifically for the FMS FCX24M 1/24 scale RC crawler. These brass wheel weights deliver exceptional stability and handling improvements that make a real difference to your RC car's performance on challenging terrain.
