If you are looking to push your 4-Tec Drift to more extreme sideways performance, the High -ngle Steering Kit is the ultimate upgrade.

This kit adds an additional 18 degrees of steering angle to your chassis. Once installed, you will notice a significantly bigger, more aggressive angle when drifting. This guide will walk you through the installation process step-by-step.
