New for the Awesomatix A800MMX touring car, and A800FX FWD platforms are three different lower arms from RC Maker. Ryan Maker posted the following information about his latest product for the famous Awesomatix onroad RC cars:
We are happy to introduce our brand new short wheelbase arms for the Awesomatix A800MMX & A800FX! These were first developed over a year ago, and through several profile tests after feedback from numerous team drivers around the world, we have settled on the final design!

Firstly, these arms feature a larger profile than the kit arms to increase the rigidity of the arm. They also feature a carbon rib which further increases the stiffness of the arm at the point of shock attachment. This creates less twisting of the arm and reduces unwanted inputs into the shock absorbers due to arm flex. In our testing these arms increased corner speed by reducing the flex and grip the arm was generating, which made the car more free in the corner.
The shorter wheelbase certainly improved the cars response and rotation at low speed. This was particularly noticeable on tighter, more technical tracks, and less on big flowing tracks.
In conclusion, the arms were a great tuning option which we found improved the cars corner speed, response and rotation particularly on tight technical tracks, when used in both front and rear.
