Remarks – Having tested last week in Ettlingen, Awesomatix driver Max Machler is using that exact same setup on his A800X this weekend in Italy. Using different upper arm mounts on the rear of the car to normal, the new configuration gives more corner speed and is safer due to there being no change to the wheelbase under compression. Also using the optional bellcrank steering and 0.5mm shorter wheelbase than his standard setup, for large low traction outdoor tracks he uses the heavier 8000mAh LRP Stock Spec battery that keeps the voltage longer. Finally, Max is using the Speed 6 from Protoform, a preferred choice for most stock drivers outdoor due to its higher cornering speed and more traction out of the corner than from the LTC-R.
