Having fun being a troll? People will buy what they want. The Awesomatrix looks nifty, but at the price point Oleg is saying, its not even a consideration.

kschu, thanks. I was looking there to purchase the kit as well. The nice thing is parts look to be similar priced to the TC5. Problem is shipping from there changes that...oh well. Can't have my cake and eat it too.

Yeah, I had an awesomatix, but it broke all the time and performed very bad, so we started calling it the suckomatix!

Yokomo has now released the new hard suspension parts.

they where used successfully by Ronald and me in pre-production tests and are now ready for sale

the material is very strong and to some well known from the BDM (I personally never broke a BDM wishbone!)

It will add steering, responsiveness and cornerspeed without any real negative points

one of the best option parts I can suggest

I really don't think you need it. I'm going with the middle hole (stock location) version. However, I'm not sure how a stiffer or harder arm is going to play out on low traction asphalt tracks. Sure it'll add more steering, but I think it's due to less flex and more chassis rotation. So overall, you'll loose grip generated by suspension. IMHO. But looking at the pricing, it'll cost you over $40 to upgrade to all the new bits (minus the other 2 arm sets). Of course, my dumbass will try it though.
