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.

The assembly is adjustable at the base, using the stock DR10 adjustments, but it is also possible to make finer adjustments on the bar itself so that the driver can tune in the absolute perfect bar height. The wheelie bar is constructed of heavy duty 3mm carbon fiber with alloy support posts.
