ARC A10MF-26 1:10 FWD Touring Car
Taiwan onroad kit manufacturer ARC has just released details of its new A10MF-26 1:10 Front Wheel Drive Touring Car. Building on the success of the previous generation A10MF, the new car features four brass weights in the front that can be used to adjust the centre of gravity distribution in the front of the vehicle. A 10g round weight can be added in the middle of the front 45g weight. Compared with the previous generation A10 MF, they have added a 30-gram weight in the middle. These weights can be installed or removed at any time to adjust the overall weight distribution of the A10MF-26 and the front grip. Also new are Light Weight Rear Upper Bulkhead that are made of carbon fibre. In addition to reducing weight, this structure also increases the strength and grip of the rear end. Newly designed aluminium adjustable shock tower allows more room for adjustment. Each tower has two screws to adjust its supporting force/flex and the rear tower can increase the travel of the rear shock through one of the screws. All steering hubs have been upgraded to 7075-T6 aluminium alloy, which improves overall durability and ensures all geometry is more accurate. The roll centre can also be adjusted with shims on the hubs.
The latest kit’s integrated motor mount combines the servo mount and steering linkage. The high-performance single-arm steering structure provides better control of the A10MF-26. The servo’s position has also been moved forward 3mm and 6mm inside, and the overall centre of gravity is more optimised. The A10MF-26 can use standard shorty batteries and the latest medium-sized batteries. Different batteries can be used to provide different power and to adjust the chassis’s weight configuration. Chassis Flex Adjustment is a simple adjustment method for the A10MF-26 traction. By fixing or loosening the R142034 tower at different holes, A10MF-26 can be adjusted to correspond to different grips. In most cases, fixing more pillars will make the chassis stiffer and generate more grip.
