Awesomatix Touring car photos
We’ve seen the CAD images of the radical new Awesomatix touring car chassis that is being designed and produced in Russia, and now we have some good quality photographs of the first car. As we have said before about this car, The two outstanding features are a new patented suspension dampening system, smooth, lightweight and with a low centre of gravity, which is fully adjustable without the need for disassembly and the compression and rebound dampening rates are controllable and consistent. The other thing is the drive train that combines the benefits of shaft and belt drive systems, without the negative side effects such as so-called ‘torque steer’, associated with shaft drive RC cars.

I hope this does not go the way of the Predator X-10 and is around for a while. Also the Tamiya TA-01 had the motor mounted sideways and was still shaft drive. I wish them the best.

This new TC has to be one of the most innovative competition shaft drive car I’ve seen. The Predator is still around and they are at the X11 now.

looking cool, cant wait to see how it performs

And Slovakia ;-). I guess the most exciting thing will be to see the suspension performance. I couldn’t really imagine that there’s something out that is better than conventional shocks. I mean the design isn’t new at all as it was and is around in 1:1 sometimes but no other rc company decided to use it yet.

Earlier I meant the Predator Touring car not the buggy. :)

Ah ok. I have a couple of those, but this car seems to be at a level above them.

bevel gears with an open gearbox… better hope the track is swept clean before you get on it.
