Engineered in Europe with precision-machined aluminum components and a purpose-built chassis geometry, the A800FXR is designed for racers who demand consistency, tunability, and factory-level build quality.
What Is the Awesomatix A800FXR?
The A800FXR (part number AW-A800FXR) is Awesomatix's flagship 1:10 scale front-wheel drive touring car kit. FWD racing has grown significantly in competitive RC circles, and Awesomatix has spent years refining the platform to deliver a car that handles predictably across a wide range of track surfaces and conditions.
Key Features
- Precision European engineering — CNC-machined aluminum chassis components with tight tolerances throughout
- Low center of gravity layout — optimized weight distribution for FWD-specific handling characteristics
- Adjustable suspension geometry — camber, toe, and ride height tuning to suit any track surface
- High-quality ball differentials — smooth, consistent power delivery to the front wheels
- Competition-ready out of the box — every component fits precisely; no rework required
- Comprehensive manual — clear step-by-step build instructions for all skill levels
Who Is the A800FXR Built For?
The A800FXR is ideal for two types of racers. First, the FWD newcomer who wants to enter the class on a platform that won't hold them back as their skills develop. Second, the experienced FWD racer looking to step up from an older or less refined kit. Either way, the A800FXR gives you a genuine factory-level experience with the tuning range to grow into.
FWD Racing — Why It Matters
Front-wheel drive touring car racing demands a very specific balance of traction and steering response. Unlike 4WD platforms, FWD cars require the front wheels to handle both steering and power delivery simultaneously. This makes chassis geometry, differential tuning, and weight distribution critical. The A800FXR has been developed with exactly these demands in mind, giving you a platform that rewards precise setup work with fast, consistent lap times.
Build Experience
Awesomatix kits are known for their build quality, and the A800FXR is no exception. Components fit with tight tolerances, hardware is high quality, and the manual is well-organized. Expect a satisfying build process that results in a car that feels solid and precise before you ever put it on the track.
