Awesomatix touring car close to completion

Awesomatix touring car close to completion

Russian company Awesomatix, who we have been following over the past few years, has gotten in touch with us to show off their almost final car. The car in the photos is 99% production version, with some small part colours and material changes still expected before the final release. This extremely unique car can accept a transverse and longitudinal motor layout and comes supplied with the two different motor mounts as well as two different upper decks for fine tuning the flex of the car. Their team is currently giving the car its final shakedown and will be ready in time for the following rounds of the Euro Touring Series, the next of which takes place in February in Austria.

Awesomatix Touring car photos

We’ve seen the CAD images of the radical new Awesomatix touring car chassis that is being designed and produced in Russia, and now we have some good quality photographs of the first car. As we have said before about this car, The two outstanding features are a new patented suspension dampening system, smooth, lightweight and with a low centre of gravity, which is fully adjustable without the need for disassembly and the compression and rebound dampening rates are controllable and consistent. The other thing is the drive train that combines the benefits of shaft and belt drive systems, without the negative side effects such as so-called ‘torque steer’, associated with shaft drive RC cars.

Awesomatix thinking way outside the box

During the World Championships in Thailand we got talking to the Russian designer of the new Awesomatix touring car and we showed you the first CAD image of the car. Now the team behind the car have released full details about this new concept and puts to rest the queries we had about how exactly everything worked. Going against the trend in current touring car design they have utilized many unique features, including some patented innovations, all designed to improve the handling characteristics. The two outstanding features of this car are a new patented suspension dampening system, smooth, lightweight and with a low centre of gravity. The dampening system is fully adjustable without the need for disassembly and the compression and rebound dampening rates are controllable and consistent. The other thing is the drive train that combines the benefits of shaft and belt drive systems, without the negative side effects such as so-called ‘torque steer’, associated with shaft drive RC cars. These two properties have allowed them to incorporate many other innovations that are not obvious upon initial inspection.
