The Contrast NEOX is the new proposal of Contrast for the
competition season 2010.
This evolution of our well know Contrast Neo 2.5 ‘09 is a
change in our design style and our selection of materials.
The NEOX is the result of a lot of hours on track, testing
new set-ups, new geometries, new parts... a lot of mails
with our team drivers around the world... a lot of hours
with a hot coffee cup talking with our technical advisers
and factory drivers Josep Amat, Hessel Roskam and Ian Oddie.
Almost all their suggestions are inside the NEOX that is
ready for you.
The NEOX have a bigger presence of Carbon fibre together our
best aluminium 7075T6. Both materials working together offer
the best flexibility and rigidity in the chassis beside a
racing look, hardness and lightness.
The areas were we have work to evolve the Neo 2.5 ‘09 to the
NEOX are:
1) New chassis 8 mm shorter. With two possible wheelbase 527
mm and 519 mm. The shorter wheelbase of Neo 2.5 ‘09 is the
longer wheelbase of NEOX, and it have other new position 8
mm shorter.
2) New front uprights (available on February) with king pin
0º and new roll centre to improve the easy drive in fast
corners. It let to use always new tyres GRP C on front axle.
3) New side chassis mounts with a middle part adjustable in
carbon fibre. Adding or removing screws you can change the
chassis rigidity.
4) New lower front wishbones with nice design and less
interference with the upright and suspension movements.
5) New upper front wishbones with nice round design and easy
system to fix the turnbuckle and rod end of the upright.
6) New radio plate in carbon fibre for two small servos.
Better and nice design with 9 fix points that let to remove
the 4 main screws to the side mounts and to have a very
smooth chassis, good for rainy conditions. There is a
optional radio plate for one big servo, Rhino size.
7) New front support for body shell with wide and advanced
position to fix the body without vibrations.
8) New side protections in carbon fibre adapted to NEOX and
Neo 2.5 ‘09 body side mounts.
9) New external cover of the brake’s callipers. Very hard
and light with a big screw to a fine and easy adjust of the
shoes and disk. New disk made on white-green fibre with
better performance at high temperature.
10) New rear shock support in carbon fibre.
11) New rear lower wishbones with a new system to adjust the
toe in and better rigidity that avoid the vibrations of the
upright when throttle.
12) New Hybrid Differential that will offer you a new level
of traction unknown for you until now.
13) New rear adjustable roll bar 5 mm thicker.
14) There is a update kit to convert the Neo 2.5 ’09 to new
