RX8 2023 Features:
- Redesigned chassis with narrowed front suspension pivots increases stability & traction
- More chassis cutouts create greater flex in desired locations
- Additional chassis cutouts improve engine cooling
- Hard composite suspension arms combined with the improved central chassis flex keeps the suspension geometry stable while the flex is transferred through chassis and radio plate to maintain traction.
- Narrower front suspension holders for improved geometry
- Longer lower suspension arm shock mounting holders compensate for the narrower suspension holders to maintain the ideal shock absorber geometry
- Lower down-stop mounting holders without the eccentric geometry make the car easier to set suspension down-stops
- Updated front aluminum bulkheads with a lowered design
- Updated front upper clamps feature integrated upper shock mounting positions, eliminating the need for a separate front shock tower
- Innovative front upper shock mounting directly on the upper clamps adjusted via shims provide more flex on front suspension
- Updated front upper bulkhead brace for easy flex adjustments. More stability with the brace installed, more traction and steering when the brace is removed
- Lightweight front upper arm holder design
- Ultra-compact and super lightweight receiver box moves the weight lower and closer to the center of the chassis
- Radio plate with revised servo holders moves the throttle servo more rearwards with a more central location for the receiver box
- Shorter servo saver stand with key lock design
- Updated rear aluminum bulkheads have a 2mm front/rear wheelbase adjustment for easy traction tuning depending on the track conditions. Front position more traction, rear position more stability.
- Rear suspension holders and milled pockets in the chassis plate reduce the lowest pin position by 1mm to generate more traction when needed
- Anti-roll bar bearing bushings front and rear for different thickness of anti-roll bars
- Updated anti-roll bar wire shape to match the redesigned bearing bushings
- Full ventilated brake disk included in the kit
- 2-speed shaft adapter for rear belt pulley uses longer pins for increased reliability
- Lightweight one-way carrier for reduced rotating weight
- Redesigned guide pins provide smooth movement of the brake pads
- Return spring shims improve efficiency of the brake pads by preventing spring lock and maintaining free brake movement
- Redesigned 9mm wider rear PUR belt for increased reliability and lifespan
- Front lower bumper with updated body mount positions to fit all the different racing bodies
- The aluminum front body posts with eccentric mounting that allows frontward or rearward mounting positions
- Longer front lower pivot balls account for the narrower front suspension pivot to maintain necessary width adjustments
- Graphite rear upper arm holders with more clearance above the rear belt
