MXLR A12 WC Edition FlexBumper

New from the brand of 1:12 Spec World Champion Max Mächler comes the MXLR FlexBumper for the Awesomatix A12 WC Edition.   It is the final version of the test part that Mächler used in his IFMAR World Championship winning A12 in Florida in December.  With an increased width of 18mm and extended depth of 4mm it achieves a way better support for the body shell, which plays a key role when using the popular ultra light versions.  This new style bumper cctually takes over the role for the front body height adjustment, as the bodyshell rests completely on the bumper itself.  With the three included spacers (1.0mm / 1.5mm / 2.0mm) it’s rather easy to get the height setting perfect. Just place them under the bumper, directly on the Carbon Bumper plate of the A12.  At tests in Europe and in the United States MXLR found that these three different thickness spacer are suitable to get the correct bodyshell height settings by either using a single piece or stacking them up.  They have imprinted the thickness at different spots on each spacer to have a quick and easy count for the overall thickness when looking from above.  As a weight comparison the MXLR FlexBumper weights ~5.0grams compared to the original Kit Bumper at ~3.5grams.
