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.
