New from high precision screw brand OfficinaRC is the ST112 Centering Screw for Awesomatix. Made of certified quality solid titanium from Italy, it replaces the standard iron screws in the kit. These special screws have a circular surface at the base of the screw cone, which allows for centring of the piece due to the arrangement of the parts in which it is screwed. Not only do these screws make the model more beautiful and precious, but the titanium specifications also help to lighten the new A800R. Some technical choices have, in fact, made it heavier than the previous version. The new screws are already available in packs of four and as a Full Titanium Bottom screw kit. The “OfficinaRC Titanium SFS + Centering Lower Full Kit for Awesomatix A800R (41)” replaces the standard iron screws with OfficinaRC screws made from the best solid titanium in Italy. This kit replaces all screws used to fasten various parts to the chassis, including the special Centering Screw. In addition to providing an attractive look to the model thanks to the technical specifications of the material, this kit reduces the weight of the screws by approximately 30% compared to the originals.

OfficinaRC have applied a laser cut on the side of the shim in order that you can immediately recognise its size so you will no longer have any doubts and no longer need a caliper. The material used, tungsten, plays a fundamental role, increasing the weight by 8 time over the Alu Smart Shim so at the lowest point it can consequently lower the centre of gravity and make the car even more stable. Measurements are defined by solid lines with each line indicating millimetres. Offered as a pack of 8 shims they are available in 2 sizes: 3x6x1mm and 3x6x2mm. The Tungsten Smart shim are designed by OfficinaRC in Monaco and made in Italy.
