Awesomatix A800R New Parts

Awesomatix has released a number of new parts for their A800R 1:10 Electric Touring Car. New ST05-R Damper Rods add “friction type” damping into the suspension operation. ST05-R slides along ST102 with noticeable friction at suspension travel. Friction damping feature more compression of suspension = more damping, even at low speed of suspension. Oil damping feature more speed of suspension travel = more damping. Small damping at low speed of suspension. With ST05-R the car rolls and dives slower and responds to the steering input faster. A800R damper settings which were good with ST205 rods, should be 10…25% softer when using ST05-R. Also new are the AT143 ARB Stiffeners which increases stiffness of the anti-roll bar up to one step. +1 step stiffness increasing means that 1.0 mm bar acts like 1.1 mm bar, 1.1 mm bar acts like 1.2 mm bar, 1.2 mm bar acts like 1.3 mm bar and 1.3 mm bar acts like 1.4 mm bar. 1/2 and 1/4 steps of increasing are possible to set.

OfficinaRC introduce Aero-B aero bumpers

Best known for their high precision screws, OfficinaRC has introduced the Aero-B range of aero bumpers for electric touring car. The Aero-Bumper project was born with the idea of not leaving unexplored the solution of using airflow to increase performance on scale models. It is no secret that in recent years aerodynamics has perhaps been the aspect that has most influenced motorsport in general. From this consideration, Aero-B was born – Bumpers designed to channel air onto the front end and increase steering control at medium and high speeds. In addition to the aerodynamic aspect, a lot of work has been done in the choice of materials to create it. In fact, Aero-B is created using 3D printing with MSLA resin printing technology using a combination of ABS+TPU techno-polymers that give it good resilience with a lightweight. As always for OfficinaRC products, the design of these products makes the model’s look even more appealing. The Aero-B bumpers are available for Awesomatix’ A800R (7.3g), A800MMX (6.7g) and A800FX (6.7g) and the Xray X4 and X4F (6.2g). This product is aimed at those who are looking for performance in detail, not just pure resistance.
