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.

ARC is also offering a flex version of the chassis with more cut holes to increase flex and reduce the weight. This option is recommended using in the med to low traction outdoor track and compared with carbon chassis is 6g heavier. To use either chassis options ARC has introduced a required new motor mount. This has extended the front lower end to have an extra lower pin that can fit on the chassis. The chassis flex in the middle-front area can be fine-tuned more.
