7075.it LCG System touring car chassis & weight sets

Coming from 7075.it are four aluminium chassis and combo sets for touring cars such as the Awesomatix A800, Infinity IF14, Team Associated TC7.2 and Xray T4’19. All chassis are machined from high-quality 7075 aluminium and they feature a flex design for optimised torsional flex while pockets along the centre line allow the mounting of dedicated brass centre weights in order to fine-tune overall weight and weight bias. The low-profile weights protrude from the chassis by only 3mm, compared to the previous 6mm, ensuring a lower overall centre of gravity and thus faster cornering in high-grip track conditions. Weights available for now include 8g front weights, a 25g low-profile centre weight and a tall 50g centre variant. The keyed weights are mounted using a single screw and are easy to add and remove, with the A800 chassis also allowing to use the 8g front weights as additional centre variants. The chassis come black anodised for wear and looks and they are available separately or including a brass weight set.
