- In this video I go over the rotor mod with the BS Works tool that will be released later this year! This is just some insider info on what some of the U.S. drivers are testing! Hope you enjoy the video.

I thought that the 800RA dampers were modified to take care of this(?).
The only problem that I have heard of with the rotors were that the 2 piece rotors were having issues and so Awesomatix came out with the new one piece version. This mod that we are doing is just a tuning option, it's not to fix any actual product defect.

Hi EJ. What is the difference from doing this mod, compared to drill 2 more holes in the damper rotor (Or drill the holes larger)? That should also change pack. Thanks
You are 100% correct on drilling the holes out would change the pack too. I just thought that having the outer most part of the rotor modified, it would react differently than the holes that are not moving through as much oil. I know of a few guys that are drilling the holes now. I don't think that they have really come to any conclusions yet.
How does this mod make it handle better?
Hey, thanks for the question. So, it changes the "pack" characteristics. Even with thicker oil, the damper feels a good bit softer than it did before the mod. On track, the car reacted quicker and it had more chassis roll/grip. So, in a traditional shock, it's like putting a larger hole piston with thicker oil to change the "pack" of the shock. For myself and Bill from BS Works, it did produce faster lap times on a layout that had been down at our local track for months.
Good stuff!
Are you willing to share the dimensions of the cutout?
I will check with Bill over at BS Works and see if he wants to share that yet.
BS Works is not willing to share that information. Sorry. The tool will be available late summer/early fall.
@@FullSendRC804 all good! thanks for checking
