Helix Designs P03 popper

Coming from Helix Designs and made for the Awesomatix P03 suspension cups is the P03 popper tool. Mounting the cups can be a hassle at times and this is where the tool kicks in as it saves time and lots of P03s from breaking on instillation and removal. It is of a two-sided design – a pushing side to help install easier and protect the P03, and a removal side that has a slightly tighter fit to help pry off old P03s. The 3-D-printed tool is available from now on.

RC Maker A800X MMCX floating electronic plate set

Coming from RC Maker and made for the Awesomatix A800X MMCX mid motor touring car is the new adjustable floating electronic plate set. Long awaited by several Awesomatix enthusiasts and extensively tested and refined for the MMCX, the plate adds valuable weight and balance to the car. The degree of weight required varies depending on the size and weight of the battery. This is why the designers have created the next generation of the AFEP, which not only moves side to side for balance, but that can have additional plates stacked on top to increase weight. As well as this, RC Maker have included two centre weight options in the kit, 5g and 15g which can be installed depending on the required overall weight. The key feature of this plate is its floating capability. The plate sits 0.5mm above the chassis and allows the main plate to flex underneath. Only mounting from a single central screw, it also makes changing chassis extremely easy, without having to remove any double sided tape. The set is a direct fit to the MMCX chassis and an additional 8g stick-on plate is available separately.
