Awesomatix IFJ inner front joint system

Coming from Awesomatix is the new IFJ inner front joint system. The somewhat revolutionary construction reduces the friction between the spool outdrive and the dogbone drive shaft during suspension movement. This results in a smoother car behaviour, improved steering and increased corner speed due to a reduction in the binding and forces acting between the drive shafts and outdrives during acceleration, braking and cornering. The friction-reducing capabilities also improve the efficiency of the transmission which is important especially for Stock racing classes but also when running Modified motors. The ball-raced set is available now with a dedicated IRF inner rear joint set for the rear diff coming soon.

RC Maker A800X Med Flex Link

RC Maker’s Med Flex Link is a custom built, machined ball link system that provides the front or rear of the A800X touring car with a medium flex option. It allows the bulkheads to flex independently but not together, bracing the front and/or rear of the topdeck under acceleration and braking, yet still allowing it to move sideways in cornering. This provides increased forward traction and stability when used at the rear, and increased braking grip and turn in when used at the front. It also features an integrated belt tensioning system, allowing to run the belts looser for less rolling resistance, whilst still maintaining longevity and reliability. Thee links have all individually been custom machined and fitted to the car to ensure a precision fit and smooth action. They work with both the C27X standard top deck and the VTD vertical top deck. However, they will only provide a substantial handling effect when the braces on the VTD are cut, to allow the flex link to work.
