Awesomatix A800R New Parts

Awesomatix has released a number of new parts for their A800R 1:10 Electric Touring Car. New ST05-R Damper Rods add “friction type” damping into the suspension operation. ST05-R slides along ST102 with noticeable friction at suspension travel. Friction damping feature more compression of suspension = more damping, even at low speed of suspension. Oil damping feature more speed of suspension travel = more damping. Small damping at low speed of suspension. With ST05-R the car rolls and dives slower and responds to the steering input faster. A800R damper settings which were good with ST205 rods, should be 10…25% softer when using ST05-R. Also new are the AT143 ARB Stiffeners which increases stiffness of the anti-roll bar up to one step. +1 step stiffness increasing means that 1.0 mm bar acts like 1.1 mm bar, 1.1 mm bar acts like 1.2 mm bar, 1.2 mm bar acts like 1.3 mm bar and 1.3 mm bar acts like 1.4 mm bar. 1/2 and 1/4 steps of increasing are possible to set.
