Awesomatix roll out new optionals

Awesomatix have announced the release of new option parts for their line of touring cars. First up is the HRB horizontal rear bodypost set that was developed to lower the overall centre of gravity. The set mimics the design found on the A800FX FWD touring car and improves the handling and corner speed of the 4WD A800 kits which leads to faster lap times. Furthermore the body shell will become more stiff in the rear end section and thus has less deflection at high speeds. The HRB set fits all A800 models besides the A800FX.

SpeeDome-RC T4 2020 carbon fibre bumper brace

Coming from SpeeDome-RC is a carbon fibre bumper brace for the Xray T4 2020 touring car. Machined from 4mm high-quality material the bumper brace will protect the front of the chassis in the event of a crash as the part will brace itself against the front bulkheads, ensuring only minimal movement of the lower front bumper mount and thus taking away stress from the very front of the chassis. The CNC-machined bumper brace includes two M3x10mm titanium screws and it is a direct fit.

T-Works have announced the release of new optional parts for the Hong Nor X3 GTS kit. First up is a titanium turnbuckle set made of high-quality 64 grade titanium.

Roche P12 Evo World’s Limited Edition Conversion Kit

Coming from Roche and made for their World Championship winning Rapide P12 1/12th pan car platform is the World’s Limited Edition Conversion Kit. Developed with the forthcoming 2020 IFMAR Worlds in mind, the set includes the optional aluminium motor mount set designed by UK factory driver Ollie Payne. The new design motor mount is not only much stronger but also lighter and it offers a lower centre of gravity, meaning the car carries much more corner speed and it is easier to drive in high traction conditions. Also includes in the aluminium lower pod set. The new lower pod plates amend the weight balancing when running a solid axle, offering easier acceleration and constant driving feeling. The new “sliding” pivot block and pivot ball mount made by Derlin and 7075 aluminium are more reliable, whilst also creating more traction, again making for a more consistent and easy to drive car.
