Helix Designs A800X LP12 swaybar mounts

Helix Designs have introduced their new LP12 swaybar mounts for the Awesomatix A800X and A800X Evo. With the evolution of setups and new A-arms released for the Awesomatix A800X, it is often needed to modify the stock Awesomatix P12X sway bar mounts to run specific setups. Are new Helix LP12 swaybar mounts have fixed the two major problems with the stock part. Drivers can now run low AT21-S balls and/or any current A-arm without any modifications. Made with durable nylon and tested successfully by top Awesomatix USA team drivers at the 2018 NYGP and 2018 USIC, the parts are a drop fit and they include 3x3mm and 3x4mm droop screws.

RC Maker A800X centre weight spacer

RC Maker have introduced their new centre weight spacer for all rear motor Awesomatix A800X cars. This 0.5mm carbon plate makes it very easy to lift the centre weight on the A800X. Normally shims are required which are very fiddly and difficult to install, this plate does not require the screws to be undone fully and slides in from the side, making it a super adjustable and easy solution.

Awesomatix ULCG & Shorty battery mounts

Awesomatix have introduced new battery mounts for ULCG and shorty battery packs. Machined from brass and coming black anodised for looks and corrosion prevention, the mounts add valuable weight when running lightweight ultra low centre of gravity or shorty battery packs. The ULCG mounts add 22g per holder while the large shorty mounts add 52g of weight per piece. The main goal of the different holder/battery combinations is to further lowering of the overall centre of gravity which can provide huge advantages in high grip track conditions. The items are a direct fit for the A800 platforms and they come as pairs.

Awesomatix C04AL1+1.5 alloy suspension arm

New from Awesomatix comes the C04AL1+1.5 alloy suspension arm for all A700/A800/X/Evo cars. The A-arm was specially designed for racing at venues with hard boards like it is common at most US indoor tracks as the aluminium wishbone is more rigid compared to a carbon arm. The +1.5 arm is best used in the front and in combination with the C04AL1+0.5 arm in the rear.

7075.it LCG System touring car chassis & weight sets

Coming from 7075.it are four aluminium chassis and combo sets for touring cars such as the Awesomatix A800, Infinity IF14, Team Associated TC7.2 and Xray T4’19. All chassis are machined from high-quality 7075 aluminium and they feature a flex design for optimised torsional flex while pockets along the centre line allow the mounting of dedicated brass centre weights in order to fine-tune overall weight and weight bias. The low-profile weights protrude from the chassis by only 3mm, compared to the previous 6mm, ensuring a lower overall centre of gravity and thus faster cornering in high-grip track conditions. Weights available for now include 8g front weights, a 25g low-profile centre weight and a tall 50g centre variant. The keyed weights are mounted using a single screw and are easy to add and remove, with the A800 chassis also allowing to use the 8g front weights as additional centre variants. The chassis come black anodised for wear and looks and they are available separately or including a brass weight set.
