RC Maker A12 shim plate set & damper guard

RC Maker have produced their first option parts for the newly released Awesomatix A12 1/12th scale car. First up is a carbon front ride height shim plate set which makes it much easier to make aggressive ride height adjustments on the fly. The separate shims just slide in when loosening the screws, and the front being a solid plate is much easier to install than 3 separate shims. Very handy for asphalt racing or when using big tires. Next up is a carbon damper guard that was developed particularly for asphalt. After some feedback from team drivers running on asphalt, they found the damper section of the chassis began to wear on bumpy tracks. This 0.5mm stick on plates act as a guard and prevent the damper burring over on the edges and touching the output shafts, effecting the smoothness of your dampening.

RC Maker MMX GeoCarbon V3 arms

Building upon their very popular GeoCarbon V2 Arms for the Awesomatix A800 MMX, RC Maker are excited to present their V3 arms. Featuring front steering arm options for both single and double bellcrank steering, as well as rear steering arms, they feature duplicated geometry of standard arms and provide more flex on the toe axis, which in testing yielded more traction. The V3 Arms now feature a pressed 7075 aluminium M3 threaded insert, so now you can screw the ball stud directly into the arm.

Rebellion RC MMX topdeck option

Rebellion RC now offer two more top deck options for the Awesomatix MMX, a single and two-piece version. Both are very similar in design, wrapping around the spur gear, with the single piece best suited for high to very high traction, while the two piece top deck helps improve front end in-corner steering depending on which screws you use. All bulkhead-holes are 3,1mm to improve flex and reduce tweak, and both are available in 1.5mm or 2mm thick carbon.

For the Awesomatix MMX from Rebellion RC is this two piece wrap around top deck that the Austrian company is calling ‘Yin Yang’. Not just an interesting visual it results in a car with increased overall traction and one which stays super stable all around the track. Made from high quality carbon it is available in both 1.5mm or 2mm thickness.

LCG aluminium eccentric insert for Awesomatix

These newly introduced aluminium eccentric inserts for Awesomatix by LCG Racing are designed and developed to reduce play in both the longitudinal and the horizontal direction. The precisely made bearing holders allow to easily fit the diff and spool as well as prevent any binding of the car‘s flex characteristics. Furthermore, the optimised fit of the bearings make the drivetrain smoother. They are made of high quality 7075 Aluminium, are anodised in gun metal grey to match the looks of the car and protect its surface and come in sets of two.

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.
