That's the RX8 support, super tiny :-)

So they have actually molded new longer arms according to that last pic!

Think it might help sometimes in lower/mid grip tracks.
But they are developing and testing all the time so don't expect everything you see to definitely make any production kit.

The Awesomatix car has a super low RC because the pivot balls mount about 1mm lower than the lowest pills on an xray and the outer pivot mounts over the arm about 0.5mm-0.75mm from center vs the outer hing pin on a conventional tc, creating a downward angle of the arm towards the center deeper than on other kits. Awesomatix going to “high roll center” is really just sort of correcting the Geometry so it is closer to being around above the ground slightly vs where it used to be really far under.

So the T4'20 might be both mid and long arm... Bruno says new platform so it has at least one of the above.

Now if the plastic parts are changing... Maybe we will go for a T5 ;-)

Long arms
new suspension blocks
mid mount / new motor mount
optimised bulkheads
revised sway bars
at least 70% new. Good chance to not be called T4!
drivetrain (apart from belts), shocks and steering all the same though.

what I’ve seen looked very close to production ready.
As for the name, I’m going to the factory in 4weeks. Might see if I can find a pallet of cardboard.
