With the success of the previous generation A10MF, ARC has made signifcant improvements to deliver the latest iteration in the form of the A10MF-26, taking performance to a higher level. Check out the new features below:
Chassis Weight Adjustment
Four brass weights in the front of the A10MF-26 can be used to adjust the weight distribution at the front of the vehicle.
The front bumper features a 45g weight to which an optional 10g round weight can also be added. There is a new 30g weight along the centerline just behind the front suspension arms.
All these weights can be installed or removed at any time to adjust the overall weight distribution and handling balance of the A10MF-26.
New Rear Upper Bulkhead
The rear upper bulkhead of A10MF-26 is unique to the car and is made from carbon fiber. In addition to reducing weight, this design also increases the strength and grip of the rear end.
Adjustability
The A10MF-26 upper arm can be configured in three different lengths. Generally speaking, a longer upper arm can give the car a more gentle initial response while a shorter one can give the car more initial grip.
The newly designed rear lower arms also give the car more space making it easier to adjust the rolling center.
Adjustable Aluminium Suspension Tower
The newly designed aluminium adjustable shock tower provides more options for fine tuning. Each tower has two screws to adjust the way it is supported altering flex characteristics and therefore the level of grip. The rear tower can also be made active, giving more instant rear droop which improves steering through tighter corners.
7075 Aluminium Uprights
All steering hubs have been upgraded to 7075-T6 aluminium, which improves overall durability and ensures ultimate accuracy in suspension geometry. The roll center can also be adjusted with shims above and below the hubs.
Integrated Motor/Servo Mount
The integrated motor mount combines the servo mount along with the steering linkage. The high performance single-arm steering structure provides better control of the A10MF-26 and allows the servo to be brought further forward.
Compared to the previous design, the servo's position has been moved 3mm further forward 3mm and 6mm towards the centerline, delivering further improved weight distribution.
Chassis Flex Adjustment
Rear traction is easily adjusted via the installation of the R142034 tower between the chassis and top deck. By installing the tower/s at different holes rear flex can be easily adjusted according to track conditions.
Installing multiple towards will make the chassis stiffer and generate more rear end grip.
Comprehensive Range of 17mm Springs
There are a total of 13 different springs that can be used to fine tune the setup of the A10MF-26. Three of these are progressive springs, with the other ten being linear springs.
The progressive springs are normally used at the front end, as they help to slow down the initial steering response, then give more steering in the middle and exit of the corner.
In the linear spring range we have the hardest at C2.9 to softest C2.4 with a full range in between in C0.5 increments.
