Awesomatix A800R – Full Release Details
Having given initial details of its latest touring car offering back in January, Awesomatix has just released the full spec for its A800R with kits currently on their way to its global distribution network. The A800R now features a new damper system which includes a Linear and Progressive damping option. These are also quickly adjustable from the underside of the chassis without sliding the dampers in or out. Another advantage is that the dampening and the spring are entirely separate on the A800R; Changing the damper rate doesn’t affect spring rate anymore. The car features a super short chassis to reduce chassis rub to increase corner speed. New suspension armswere needed to keep the same wheelbase in combination with the shorter chassis. Additionally, they have angled the lower bumper to reduce chassis rub under braking action, while adding a new upper bumper plate which is an active part of front flex. With the new damper design comes a new bulkhead design and upper arm holders for improved geometry. Awesomatix include the all new ST112 Centering Screws (same as for D2 dampers mounts) which ensure a perfect and straight build to key the dampers and bulkheads to the lower chassis.
This car features a new and ultra-light, reliable rear body holder, in addition to new sway bars which were needed because of the new suspension design. Also included is a new battery holder, but the motor mount and topdeck system remain unchanged. The car includes the latest version AM177-2 motormount. The one-piece C27MMX topdeck also remains compatible. There are no changes to the well-known and reliable drivetrain with spool, IFJ, IRJ, GD2B-R and BEL351 belts. The Steering unit remains bulletproof with the AM24-20 and the latest version AM180EVO steering rack (which is the same as the most recent version on the A800MMX car).
