Awesomatix A800R New Parts

Awesomatix has released a number of new parts for their A800R 1:10 Electric Touring Car.   New ST05-R Damper Rods add “friction type” damping into the suspension operation.  ST05-R slides along ST102 with noticeable friction at suspension travel. Friction damping feature more compression of suspension = more damping, even at low speed of suspension.  Oil damping feature more speed of suspension travel = more damping. Small damping at low speed of suspension.  With ST05-R the car rolls and dives slower and responds to the steering input faster.  A800R damper settings which were good with ST205 rods, should be 10…25% softer when using ST05-R.  Also new are the AT143 ARB Stiffeners which increases stiffness of the anti-roll bar up to one step. +1 step stiffness increasing means that 1.0 mm bar acts like 1.1 mm bar, 1.1 mm bar acts like 1.2 mm bar,  1.2 mm bar acts like 1.3 mm bar and 1.3 mm bar acts like 1.4 mm bar.  1/2  and 1/4 steps of increasing are possible to set.

A new Lower Bumper Post reduces the local load on the area of the front bumper centre mounting screw on the lower deck.  This reduces the chances of a lower deck damage at frontal impacts.  Recommended for carbon lower deck in A800R car.  Slight modification of the plastic bumper P14-R-1 is needed.  For installation cut the centre pin on P14-1-R and increase the hole till ID 5mm.  Also at the front of the car the new Carbon Bumper R is designed for use with P14-1-R Lower bumper.

The new batch of releases is completed with O-Rings and a Damper Screw set.  The Damper screws with the O-Rings. has the benefit of not needing much tightening for a good sealing and as a result the thread in the damper case will last longer.  It also keeps better sealing at big expansion of the damper case in hot conditions.
