• New center layshaft adapter fits smaller 45T / 46T / 47T spur gears for expanded gear ratio choices
• Compact electronics mount for speedo and receiver
• Graphite servo holder redesigned to fit the new chassis layout
• Shorter servo link to match the new steering servo position
• Servo saver stands with the chassis key lock design
• Stronger servo saver spring with a wider range of adjustment
• Front top deck with two different brace positions ensures clearance for the servo saver to prevent binding
• Longer composite front brace makes the car more predictable

Chassis.

• The chassis plate is redesigned to incorporate all the new features of the GTX’22.
• The chassis length is increased to stretch the wheelbase, combined with the wider rear section, resulting in improved stability.
• The updated layout also includes provisions to install the new rear diffusor and mount the front and rear suspension holders directly to the chassis plate.
• The chassis features a new locking system for the servo saver posts to ensure the components will stay secure during chassis flex in extreme conditions.
• The chassis is CNC-machined from 3mm high-quality Swiss 7075 T6 aluminum; strategically machined in low-stress areas and then anodized to make it as light as possible without affecting strength or rigidity.

Rear Diffusor.

All-new diffusor used at the rear of the car helps to increase downforce that improves stability and makes the GTX’22 easier to control at high speeds.

Gearbox.

To improve the consistency of the differential performance throughout each run, the gear box covers are milled out for air flow to help reduce diff temperatures. This prevents overheating the diff oils and ensures more consistent handling during long mains and extends intervals between rebuilds. The rear gearbox and cover both have additional material milled out to increase airflow and cooling for the rear diff.

The front upper bumper brace was also modified with a milled opening to allow more air into the front gear box.

Suspension Holders.

All-new front and rear suspension holders are separated from the bulkheads and installed on the chassis. Mounting the holders directly to the chassis plate eliminates any flex from the bulkheads, improving the precision and responsiveness of the GTX’22.

The front kick-up angle was reduced, helping to create more steering and reduce tire wear.

The rear holders still offer multiple anti-squat positions, but the new plates have less anti-squat, which is better suited for the GT category to increase the stability of the car.

The new aluminum suspension holders continue to feature the Integrated Suspension Settings™ (I.S.S.) that allows for quick & easy suspension geometry changes

Using the eccentric suspension bushings inserted into aluminum suspension holders, and a few suspension shims, the GTX suspension geometry can be completely adjusted in seconds.
