Awesomatix A800MMXA – Coming soon

Awesomatix have allowed a first glimpse of their forthcoming new A800MMXA 4WD touring car kit. Building on the success of the MMCX mid-motor conversion kit for the A800X, the MMXA aluminium and MMX carbon fibre kits will be purpose-designed mid-motor-only cars that feature a newly developed motor mount and split top deck design for fully symmetrical chassis flex and a wider range of flex settings. The updated design will also improve stability and reliability of the top deck when the going gets tough. The MMXA car shown here will be piloted by Awesomatix’s own Max Mächler during this weekend’s ETS season opener in Vienna with the vehicle sporting some current A800X Evo parts, such as the BSSX steering, that will be changed for the MMX kit. In addition, Max’s car also rocks some optionals that will become available separately. Full information and details on the specifications will become available in time for the release which is scheduled for this Fall.

BR1 BC-T4WC Xray T4-series steering servo

Coming from Bruno Coelho’s BR1 brand is the new BC-T4WC servo for Xray’s T4 series of touring cars. Following the success of the BC-1863X servo, and to celebrate its Touring Car World Championship title, BR1 have developed the BC-T4WC (0.07s/11.0kg-cm/56g), a servo which is a must have for Xray T4 users that are looking for maximum performance from their car. It features a new all-aluminium case, as well as a receiver wire that now comes out of the back of the servo, allowing for much neater wiring. The integrated mount also has a screw hole to install a battery backstop with the low centre of gravity mount, which was characteristic for the first version of the servo, being once again the most striking feature, as it also perfectly fits the soon to be released Xray T4 2020 car. In addition the servo has also been updated internally to ensure best possible performance for the user.

SMJ Teflon battery tape

SMJ have introduced their new Teflon battery tape that will greatly lower the friction between the battery compartment surface and the battery case. Only 0.15mm thin the tape has a very low friction coefficient while not disturbing a low centre of gravity, ensuring the battery has way less influence in chassis tweak during cornering, ensuring more equal left-to-right chassis flex. The tape also offers protection to the chassis and battery case making both parts look fresh for a long time. SMJ recommend to place the tape on the lower side of the battery case instead of the main plate when running the latest breed of highly machined flex aluminium chassis.
