Yes it is also done with bearings on the MI5 schumacher and removed from the MI6.
Perhaps I clean them after each run.

The assembly itself is pretty easy to remove, two screws and unpop the turnbuckles, it's a 5 minute job to put it on the bench, blow out any dirt / debris etc and check it

Not a bad bit of routine maintenance to do.

Maybe it is stupid question, but I plan to go to Awesomatix after the TRF ended. Everything in the model I like, but how it changes the width and wheelbase in awesomatix a800. Is it possible?, because it's very important setting for different tracks and conditions.

Wheelbase is changed mainly in the back by the amount of caster you have on the rear uprights

Width is changed using AM21 or AM21 +0.5 ball ends, the arms can be bought in standard length or +0.5mm, there are many variants of AM06 hubs or adding a 1mm on the lower ball stud of the hub increases the width by 0.5mm

So yes plenty of options.

I like the simplified assembly and made it fit on the original pylons.
I have not taught to disassemble and clean it outside the chassis, thanks for that and i think it help me a lot.
How simple can it be.

Width is changed through optional parts. Arms, hubs, offset balls, etc

Wheelbase can be adjusted via the rear caster. You could also use the offset balls to adjust wheelbase but I haven't seen anyone do this

you'll find your local distributor having them either via pre/back order or in stock before you'll be able to buy them from the manufacture direct.

if trends are anything like all other new kit introductions, it will be 1-2 months before most dealers have them 'in stock'/on the shelf w/o requiring a back order

Few pictures of Viljami's DHI car.
Alloy chassis for A800X was not available to this race and Viljami used our old C01B-AL lower deck. Note C27X top deck that provides an increased side flex of the front bulkheads and hence an increased caster and camber flex of front suspension.
Freddy has used C01B-ALH hard alloy deck.
