Awesomatix Double Cardan Joint system

Awesomatix have released a newly designed Double Cardan Joint system for their A700 chassis. The new easy to assemble design helps reduce backlash with improved concentricity and precision and is said to last three times longer than the current design. Through using shifted slot parts of the universal ring the user can also tune the angular speed fluctuations to create chatter which can be desirable in some conditions.

Awesomatix 4.8mm ball studs & open ball cups

Awesomatix have new optional 4.8mm ball studs and matching “open” ball cups available. The parts are designed to replace the standard upper inner pivots for the camber and caster links of the A700 touring car to make for faster suspension geometry changes – a popular modification that previously was carried out using non-Awesomatix parts. Now the respective 10mm long ball studs and open ball cups are available directly from the Russian company with the design of the parts allowing for roll centre fine-tuning without disconnecting the cups from the balls. The ball studs come in packs of four while the cups being sold as pair.

Awesomatix AS-700L brushless low-profile servo

Available now from Awesomatix is this low-profile steering servo. Sporting an integrated central “floating” servo mount the servo does away with the need to run the conventional mounting brackets or the company’s floating servo mount as it directly mounts to the chassis using the existing mounting holes. The top case is CNC-machined from aluminium and comes black anodised to match the middle heatsink section and the all-black receiver wire. A brushless motor makes for swift and powerful steering action but unfortunately Awesomatix missed to release any performance data so far.

Updated Awesomatix A700 spool set & steering blocks

Awesomatix have new option parts for the A700 touring car available in the form of a redesigned front spool and narrow steering blocks. Starting with the spool, the updated design has mounting screws sitting in the outdrives for a more secure fitment. The set includes a new spool axle, a pair of outdrives, bearings and mounting hardware. Also new are the AM06M steering blocks. They offer the same roll centre geometry as the AM06S but make for a 1.5mm narrower track width which can give an advantage in low-grip conditions.

Awesomatix steering servo prototype

Seen at last weekend’s ETS race in Germany Awesomatix are close to releasing their own steering servo with built in floating servo mount. A high speed metal gear servo at the core, its aluminium case doubles as the floating mount removing the need to mount your current servo to the standard mount, saving space and weight meaning. The Russian company are also believed to be offering the option of having your name laser etched on to the servo as seen on those of their team drivers.
