New from Awesomatix comes the C04AL1+1.5 alloy suspension arm for all A700/A800/X/Evo cars. The A-arm was specially designed for racing at venues with hard boards like it is common at most US indoor tracks as the aluminium wishbone is more rigid compared to a carbon arm. The +1.5 arm is best used in the front and in combination with the C04AL1+0.5 arm in the rear.
