Vigor touring car tungsten balance weights

Coming from Vigor are three new tungsten balance weights for some of the most popular electric touring cars. The range includes a 15g 3×19.5mm weight for the Yokomo BD10, a 13g 34.5x17mm weight for the Xray T4 series as well as a 10g 33.5×15.5mm weight for the Awesomatix A800MMX. All are machined of heavy tungsten material, meaning they are heavier than comparable brass weights, ensuring a more efficient chassis balancing. The weights are attached using super-thin double-sided tape. Also new is a universal 15g 5x6x26mm centre weight that can be attached in the motor mount area.

Both the mixed and full titanium set include UFO head screws for cool looks and they help to reduce the overall weight of the car while the gold-colour steel screws mainly add bling.

RC Maker A800MMX brass & carbon AFEP

Coming from RC Maker and made for the Awesomatix A800MMX touring car are two adjustable floating electronics plate sets. They were designed to placing the weight down low, in the best position, whilst having absolutely no impact on the flex of the car. With both brass and carbon options, as well as an even heavier brass plate option, drivers have all the tuning options they could ever want to achieve the desired balance. The AFEP system can also be shimmed out from the motor-mount to further increase the tuning adjustability. The standard brass set will weigh in at 23g with the optional 25g plate making it 35g in total. As for the carbon fibre variant, it will weigh in at 12g. Both also allow the easy removal of the electronics plate from the car for maintenance and cleaning purposes.

Rebellion-RC A800 MMCX narrow main chassis

RC-Carbonstore have introduced the new Rebellion-RC narrow carbon fibre main chassis kit for the Awesomatix A800 MMCX mid-motor touring car. Due to the use of much harder carbon fibre material compared to the stock main plate, the designers were able to create a chassis that is 8mm narrower than the stock plate, without sacrificing overall stiffness and flex characteristics, which results in a lot less chassis scrubbing during hard cornering. To further gain advantages of the new narrow design, the old short lower arms mounting positions were removed in favour of a streamlined design that further adds ground clearance during cornering or while riding curbs. In addition to making the chassis slimmer, the main plate also features a 4.5mm more forward battery and a 2.5mm more forward servo position in order to gain smoother corner apex steering while getting a more stable rear end under acceleration. The slimmer chassis design also allowed to reposition the anti-roll bars without having to change anything to the wires or mounts. Other new features include slightly enlarged motor cutouts that allow for easier ESC wire routing underneath the motor can while also preventing the motor from touching the chassis. In order to optimise overall flex, the under-spool and under-diff cutouts were reshaped while additional mounting positions for Rebellion-RC’s new MMCX weight set allow easy mounting of the floating receiver and fan mount plate as well as the forthcoming new Y-stiffener. The chassis is rounded out by mounting positions for Rebellion-RC’s signature under-battery rubber dots, a 0.3×45 degree lower chamfer for looks and durability and it is available in 2.0mm, 2.2mm and 2.5mm thickness.

Rebellion-RC MMCX 62g brass weight kit

Coming from RC-Carbonstore’s Rebellion-RC brand is a new 62g floating brass weight kit for the popular Awesomatix A800 MMCX mid motor touring car. The set includes different weights and weight options, such as a rear T-stiffener that, compared to the original rear stiffener weight, is of an asymmetrical shape to create more room for space controller with the overall design ensuring no negative influence on symmetric chassis flex. The included floating receiver and fan weight can be moved 3mm forth and back by simply turning it around and to access its floating capabilities only a 0.5mm shim needs to be added between the weight and the chassis. To access the floating capabilities of the receiver and fan plate, an additional hole needs to be drilled into the chassis, however a respective drill template is included, making it an easy task. Also included in the weight kit is a small weight that sits in front of the motor and besides the servo mount and the whole set is complete with the addition of multi-piece side motor mount weights that can be stacked to achieve the desired about of counter weight when running extremely lightweight low-profile batteries. All weights are machined from high-quality brass material and included comes suitable mounting hardware in the form of two M3x10mm and two M2.5x10mm fasteners. Please not that the floating weight is intended for the use with the carbon fibre chassis but not the aluminium or CrossFlex chassis, however the other included weights fit all chassis for the MMCX.
