Awesomatix A12 1/12th scale chassis

Having previously shown you prototype photos of Awesomatix’ radical new A12 1/12th scale chassis, today the Russian company have released final details & photos of their soon to be available car. The first thing you notice about the A12 is simply how low it sits. A low centre of gravity is a critical element in racing performance for any class, and this is further exemplified by the A12 pan car on an entirely new level. Much like the Awesomatix A800MMX touring car, the A12 far surpasses all existing 12th scales by providing a much lower centre of gravity.

Rebellion RC MMX body distance system

Similar to the body distance system released yesterday by RebellionRC yesterday, this new version is specific to the Awesomatix MMX. Incorporated into new steering arms, its adjustable design makes it possible to fine-tune the mounting height of the body. Because the body no longer moves up and down with the chassis you can position the body lower than ever before, which in turn improves aerodynamics. For a perfect fit on the knuckle they have used special tools to provide the highest precision, playfree and still easy to disassemble without tons of force.

OfficinaRC A800 aluminium bearing housing

OfficinaRC have presented their new aluminium bearing housing for the Awesomatix A800. Manufactured from the highest quality aluminium and proudly made in Italy, this version allows a higher or lower position of the differential (by 0.3mm) compared to the stock bearing housing or their previously released OFC-BH. This allows you to increase the traction and stability of the car or make it more aggressive when changing direction. Designed for those looking for maximum precision and smoothness from their model.

RC Maker T4 & BD7 HRP towers & A800 brass shim plates

New from RC Maker come these GeoCarbon adjustable HRP (Horizontal Rear Post) shock towers for the Xray T4’20 (standard and low -3mm) and Yokomo BD10. These face your rear body posts backwards, and feature 1.5mm staggered holes for body height and rake adjustment. This system lowers the centre of gravity and increases body stability and downforce transfer from the wing directly into your shocks and tires creating a more stable car with increased corner speed. Additionally they also have released a new GeoCarbon front shock tower for the Yokomo BD10 to match and look the part. Next up are there popular roll centre shim plates for the Awesomatix A800, but made from brass. These are a great way to add weight down low and shift it front to rear on your car when using Long Arms. They also make changing your roll centre easier than ever, simply loosen the screws, slide the plate out and the new plate in and re-tighten. These are available in a set of 4 (2 front & 2 rear), and in 4 of the most common roll centre settings of 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 and 2.8mm. Their set weights vary from 6g to 9g depending on the thickness you choose.

OfficinaRC CU-TE 1.75mm shims

Coming from OfficinaRC are their new CU-TE 1.75mm shims that are an ideal addition to their recently introduced AT21ST-A-T titanium pivot ball for the Awesomatix touring cars. CU-TE is a material that has a specific weight of 8.99, about 3-times heavier than aluminium. This allows to place a considerable weight in a small space. These shims have been designed to replace the SH1.75 shims used on Awesomatix models to adjust the roll center of the arms allowing racers to position weight at the lowest possible point. The shims come in sets of eight, enough to outfit a full car.
