Manzo46 ‘Simple Tweak Station’

Manzo46, the brand of top Swiss Touring Car racer Michele Manzo, has released a ‘Simple Tweak Station’ as a very accurate and simple way to tweak your car.  There are a lot of systems to do the tweak but Manzo46 has created a very easy way to do it just by reading numbers.  You don’t have to estimate the value, you see the numbers on the scales.  It also has the advantage that you can use the scales for any other needs in the pits with them able to support the weight of up to 500g in 0.01g readings.  The very compact design means you don’t need big space in to store it.

MXLR A12 WC Edition FlexBumper

New from the brand of 1:12 Spec World Champion Max Mächler comes the MXLR FlexBumper for the Awesomatix A12 WC Edition.   It is the final version of the test part that Mächler used in his IFMAR World Championship winning A12 in Florida in December.  With an increased width of 18mm and extended depth of 4mm it achieves a way better support for the body shell, which plays a key role when using the popular ultra light versions.  This new style bumper cctually takes over the role for the front body height adjustment, as the bodyshell rests completely on the bumper itself.  With the three included spacers (1.0mm / 1.5mm / 2.0mm) it’s rather easy to get the height setting perfect. Just place them under the bumper, directly on the Carbon Bumper plate of the A12.  At tests in Europe and in the United States MXLR found that these three different thickness spacer are suitable to get the correct bodyshell height settings by either using a single piece or stacking them up.  They have imprinted the thickness at different spots on each spacer to have a quick and easy count for the overall thickness when looking from above.  As a weight comparison the MXLR FlexBumper weights ~5.0grams compared to the original Kit Bumper at ~3.5grams.
