Awesomatix AM180EVO SB bellcrank

Awesomatix have introduced this AM180EVO SB bellcrank for the A800MMX single bellcrank steering (SB1). This Evo version is equipped with the same bigger bearings as the M5 version to further increase the reliability. Furthermore the height of the AM180EVO is slightly adjusted to avoid contact with P12X at certain setups. With this change, less bumpsteer shims are needed on the steering arm, which reduces the stress on this part. To keep the same bumpsteer value as with AM180M5 use 1,25mm less bumpsteer shims.

Mugen MTC2 active shock towers

For the MTC2 series, Mugen have introduced these active shock towers for the front and rear of the car. This completely new concept shock tower eliminates the resistance from the shock absorber when the suspension is lowered, dramatically improving stability when driving in the bumps on the track, or on the curbs in the corner. It also improves the stability of the rear in small corners that enter at high speed and corners that require quick turning. The effects are more apparent when using softer tires.
