T-Works release more RC8B3.2 CF optionals

T-Works have announced the release of new carbon fibre optional parts in the form of a rear shock tower as well as upper and lower arm stiffeners.

Also new are front upper, front lower and rear lower carbon fibre arm stiffeners that help to adjust overall arm flex to match the existing track conditions.

RC Maker A800FX Tweak Stick

RC Maker have announced the release of their new Tweak Stick tool for the use with the Awesomatix A800FX front-wheel drive touring car. Featuring a full carbon fibre construction, it is lightweight and disassembles for easy transportation. The tweak stick aids to pin the car down onto a flat surface with a single hand, whilst tightening the top deck screws with your other hand. Due to Awesomatix’s unique design not having shock towers, the tweak stick utilises extension plates which exert even pressure onto the bulkheads left and right, front and rear. The design locates the extensions onto the bulkhead using locating lugs, which makes it quick, easy and accurate to use. Thick O-rings simply locate the extensions in place, which can be adjusted in distance to your desire. Using the tweak stick doesn’t require removal of anything, as it clears all parts of the car and all spur gear sizes.

Steel internal axle tube inserts add low CG weight and prevent axle flex.
