The rumours had it in the last weeks, and now the cat is out of the sack as Awesomatix presented their new 1:10 scale touring car today.
With only showing some first pictrures to the pulic, not all the details are unveiled yet. But from what we can see, the new A800R looks very interesting, innovative, and beautiful.
Read the official Awesomatix Infopack about the car here:
1. Compact shorter lower deck with an all new shape
The new shape of the lower deck allows the car to dive and roll more without excessive rubbing on the track.
Combined with the new carbon lower arms the wheelbase remains same as previous kits.
2. New dampers
New dampers have an even lower center of gravity. New dampers provide independent adjustment of the damping level and the suspension spring rate.
New dampers have 2 build-in modes – for progressive damping and for linear damping.
Smoother operation at low-speed damping and improved characteristics at high-speed damping are the key improvements of our new dampers.
The added ball bearing in the damper-suspension linkage provides noticeable reduction of the adverse initial friction during the suspension operation.
3. New rear body holder
The new design of the rear body holder reduces the weight and the polar moment of inertia.
4. New battery holders
The new design holds the battery in place more securely and allows for easier adjustment for various battery lengths.
5. New front bumper plates
The new design of the front bumper plates is determined by the noticeably shorter front end of the lower deck.
Front body posts remain in the same position, but the new lower bumper plate continues with the trend of reducing chassis rub.
6. New carbon lower arms
New lower arms have a swept design towards the four corners of the car, a shape that is defined by the shorter lower deck and new dampers.
7. New Bulkheads
The new design of the bulkheads is inspired by the shorter lower deck, new dampers and new lower arms.
8. New sway bars
The new design of the sway bars is determined by the narrower lower deck and new lower arms.
All above features combined together provide the reduced total polar moment of inertia and the lower CG for A800R car!
This new model is able to change the direction way faster which means it’s more agile and responsive. The new car also finishes the run stronger due to a significant decrease in chassis rub.
Carbon chassis version (A800RC) and alloy chassis version (A800RA) will both be available.
All transmission parts, motor mount and top decks are compatible with current A800MMX car.
