RX8E 2023 Features:

Redesigned chassis with narrowed front suspension pivots increases stability & traction

More chassis cutouts create greater flex in desired locations

Additional chassis cutouts improve cooling

Hard composite suspension arms combined with the improved central chassis flex keeps the suspension geometry stable while the flex is transferred through chassis and radio plate to maintain traction.

Narrower front suspension holders for improved geometry

Longer lower suspension arm shock mounting holders compensate for the narrower suspension holders to maintain the ideal shock absorber geometry

Lower down-stop mounting holders without the eccentric geometry make the car easier to set suspension down-stops

Redesigned front aluminum bulkheads with a lowered design

Updated front upper clamps feature integrated upper shock mounting positions, eliminating the need for a separate front shock tower

Innovative front upper shock mounting directly on the upper clamps adjusted via shims provide more flex on front suspension

Updated front upper bulkhead brace for easy flex adjustments. More stability with the brace installed, more traction and steering when the brace is removed

Lightweight front upper arm holder design

Ultra-compact and super lightweight receiver box moves the weight lower and closer to the center of the chassis

Shorter servo saver stand with key lock design

Updated aluminum rear radio tray holders are super lightweight and reinforced in critical areas to eliminate breakage, using fixed radio tray mounting for improved stiffness

Rear suspension holders are mounted to the chassis with 2 larger screws instead of 4 smaller screws for more security

Updated rear aluminum bulkheads have a 2mm front/rear wheelbase adjustment for easy traction tuning depending on the track conditions. Front position more traction, rear position more stability.

Rear suspension holders and milled pockets in the chassis plate reduce the lowest pin position by 1mm to generate more traction when needed

Anti-roll bar bearing bushings front and rear for different thickness of anti-roll bars

Updated anti-roll bar wire shape to match the updated bearing bushings

Lightweight one-way carrier for reduced rotating weight

Updated 9mm wider rear PUR belt for increased reliability and lifespan

Front lower bumper with updated body mount positions to fit all the different racing bodies

The aluminum front body posts with eccentric mounting that allows frontward or rearward mounting positions

Longer front lower pivot balls account for the narrower front suspension pivot to maintain necessary width adjustments

Graphite rear upper arm holders with more clearance above the rear belt
