Compared to the previous model with 4000mah, the battery is now 4mm longer but still only 18.5mm high. This keeps the center of gravity as low as possible in the car while having more capacity and runtime at the same moment. The battery comes along at around 160g and is a perfect choice for 1/10 scale indoor modified racing (touring car), FWD cars, as well as 2WD and 4WD offroad buggies.

Awesomatix rear ARS steering arm

0

Awesomatix offers a new designed rear ARS steering arm for their current touring car A800MMX (and older versions including the A700) which also fits into the rear of the A800FX Evo FWD car. A great new tuning option for the famous onroad cars from the russian manufacturer for the indoor season. Read how Awesomatix describes their newest product:

This version is longer compared to the previous AM23-1 Rear Steering Arm. This feature reduces the free play of the rear toe and improves ARS characteristics. The improved characteristics of the ARS helps with better midcorner steering and reduce the risk of snap oversteer during load changes.
We recommend to use 0,5mm less bumpsteer shims, to keep the same ARS action as with AM23-1. This part is a direct replacement for AM23-1

Awesomatix

Part Number: A800-AM23-R
Contains 2 steering arms
