Awesomatix A800FXR 1:10 FWD Touring Car
Awesomatix has unveiled their latest FWD touring car with the new A800FXR featuring an innovative two-piece, bi-material chassis plate. With the A800R platform reaching its maturity, the A800FXR builds on the proven A800R touring car concept – shortened chassis plate for minimal overhang and chassis rub and improved damping characteristics over the FX Evo platform – while retaining the successful drivetrain and steering geometry of its predecessor. It also benefits from more than two years of extensive development of its touring car counterpart. The standout feature of the A800FXR kit is its two-piece, bi-material chassis plate. The forward section, made of aluminium, supports the front end, transmission, and electronics, while a carbon fibre rear section holds the rear assembly. While offering improved weight distribution and refined flex characteristics it brings unparalleled tunability as it allows four different wheelbase settings, truly redefining the phrase “the best of both worlds”.
The kit also sees the introduction of newly designed D4 dampers. Built on the proven D3 dampers concept – which implemented an external damping level setting – the new D4 iteration now enables you to also externally switch between three damping modes: linear, semi-progressive and progressive, and therefore does away with a complete damper rebuild to switch damping mode! Further D4 refinements over previous D3 include a wider available range of spring setting and increased suspension travel. The kit comes equipped with a new glass fibre composite front upper deck which together with an also new carbon fibre rear upper deck further increases front flex improving the flex distribution across the complete chassis frame. To further enhance tunability the kit is rounded up by BW41 and BW29 front chassis ballast weights positioned under the differential as well as the newly designed ST265 Modular Bumper Weight allowing to secure up to six ST110 round weights in the front bumper making for neat and infinitely adjustable weight bias.
