Awesomatix A800 belt-driven touring car kit

Some weeks ago Awesomatix have introduced their forthcoming A800 electric touring car kit and following first renderings now official images of the production car are available.

BMT 601 electric touring car kit

Italian brand BMT, know especially for their successful nitro on-road cars, have joined the 1/10th electric touring car game with the introduction of the BMT 601 4WD touring car. The vehicle is based on a symmetrical 2.3mm carbon fibre chassis for equal left-to-right flex characteristics and topped off by a 2mm carbon upper deck that allows for various flex settings. Compact and lightweight aluminium bulkheads take the front spool and rear gear differential with the spool featuring steel outdrives while the rear diff is equipped with composite internals and double O-rings. The centre pulleys are made from aluminium and the belts supplied in the kit are low-friction Bando belts for high drivetrain efficiency. On the suspension side of things the 601 features aluminium suspension mounts with hard composite inserts, the front and rear anti-roll bars use ball races for maximum precision and the bulkhead covers are a one-piece affair with the shock towers attaching using three bolts instead of the usual four. The kit is rounded out by mirror-polished and hard-coated aluminium shock absorbers with TiNi-coated shock shafts and all suspension parts are made from hard-compound plastic composite material.

Avid T4’16 aluminium chassis plate

Avid T4'16 aluminium chassis plate

Avid have introduced an aluminium chassis plate for the Xray T4’16 car. At 2mm thickness the chassis makes for an overall lower centre of gravity, the car can be run with lower suspension mounts and the 7075-T6 aluminium material makes for more torsional stiffness, improving handling especially on medium to high-grip surfaces. The 82mm wide chassis also features a battery tape slot on the bottom part, the motor pocket width is decreased and double pocketed to keep as much strength possible and the motor mount flex control hole has been modified with a large bevel on top of the chassis to prevent the screw head from hitting chassis. The part is a direct fit on the T4’16 and available now.
