BattCave Awesomatix A800 MMX Chassis

A UK based company specialising in R/C upgrades, BattCave has released their latest competition chassis for the Awesomatix A800MMX. With all their parts designed and developed in house, the chassis has been finalised following extensive development and testing at several circuits in the UK with the chassis proving to be extremely effective at this year’s British Nationals. Made from selected premium 2.5mm carbon fiber, they have completely redesigned the chassis by remapping the flex characteristics to enhance the car’s performance in every way possible, pushing what is already an excellent car to another level. With tuneable flex characteristics, their drivers have reported improved low to mid steering response, and high speed cornering stability. Racers can now precisely negotiate difficult chicanes as well as pushing the car hard over the fastest sections.

OfficinaRC Tungsten Smart Shims

OfficinaRC have added these new tungsten Smart Shims to their existing aluminium and brass Smart Shim offerings. Obsessed with quality and attention to detail, OfficinaRC say they have added the Tungsten version as a follow up to the successful introduction of the aluminium smart shim. OfficinaRC have applied a laser cut on the side of the shim in order that you can immediately recognise its size so you will no longer have any doubts and no longer need a caliper. The material used, tungsten, plays a fundamental role, increasing the weight by 8 time over the Alu Smart Shim so at the lowest point it can consequently lower the centre of gravity and make the car even more stable. Measurements are defined by solid lines with each line indicating millimetres. Offered as a pack of 8 shims they are available in 2 sizes: 3x6x1mm and 3x6x2mm. The Tungsten Smart shim are designed by OfficinaRC in Monaco and made in Italy.
