Awesomatix A800R new parts release

Awesomatix has released a number of new parts for it A800 1:10 Electric Touring Car.  A new Rear Belt Tensioner for A800R mounts on the chassis right behind the motormount further reducing belt skipping on the rear pulley and extends the lifespan of the belts.  They also have a new APS Additional Progressive Spring set which is designed for use on A800R.  Progressive conical tapered springs of the APS set press on the lower suspension arms and add a progression into the suspension spring rate.  Test results showed more consistent lap times with improved overall feeling on the low-med grip asphalt and carpet tracks.  Two types of springs are included in the APS set – SPR-P1 spring, adding ~13 gf/mm average suspension rate on the wheel and a slight progression, and SPR-P2 spring, adding ~20 gf/mm average suspension rate on the wheel and increased progression.  The SPR-P1 spring is mainly recommended on the rear end of the car, while the SPR-P2 is recommended for the front end of the car.  It is also possible to add only the progression into suspension rate without increasing the total average suspension rate.  In that case you should soften the main leaf springs settings by 13gf/mm when using SPR-P1 and 20gf/mm in case of SPR-P2 usage.

Also on the list of new parts are the SPR23-R Shock Pointer, set of four, which is an optional 1mm thick version of “SPR23” for easier spring adjustment via DG1X gauge.  The car also gets new front and rear PS Damper Braces and an ST147 Spring Retainer PS which comes in a set of 4 pieces.
