Awesomatix - Know your hubs!

First hub

The silver AM06 was the very first hub on offer for the A700 line of cars. This part was available through the first generation of A700 kits.

As of 2016 this part is no longer being manufacture, but is available in limited quantities.

2013 - Low Profile Hub (USA Spec)

With the introduction of the second generation of cars, a lower height hub, AM06S, was now on offer. The switch from AM06 to AM06S needs 2.5mm correction ( reducing) of the inner upper shims for equal roll centers. Soon into the Awesomatix USA product line offering we made the AM06S a standard part within our 'USA Spec' car kits.
By April 2014, AM06S became the standard for all Awesomatix cars. As of 2016, this hub is no longer being manufactured.

2014 - Narrow Low Profile Hub

The third hub, AM06M, started life off as a modified AM06 hub with the lower section cut to offer the same axle height/roll center as the AM06S, but with a narrower track width (1.5mm narrower on car width).

This hub became very popular on the rear of our A700 Evo and Evo2 cars when racing on asphalt.

As of 2016 this part is no longer being manufacture, but is available in limited quantities.

2015 - Adjustable Flex

In July 2015 the AM06S-M were introduced. This part had thethe geometry of AM06S with additional flex and possibility of bearings fit adjustment via additional M2 screws.

AM06S-M became the standard hub with the A800 chassis. These hubs seemed to work best within the new vehicle dynamics of the A800 with a 1mm shim at the bottom of the hub.

AM06S-M is no longer being manufactured.

2016 - Going Back Wide

In response to the 1mm shimming of AM06S-M, the AM06W have been introduced.

Both of these hubs look very similar. To tell them apart, look at the height of the 'tubes' on the top of the hub where it mates w/ the AM14 part. On the AM06W you'll find a recessed tube.

AM06W is available now.
