Capricorn C80 new design front & rear hubs

Coming from Capricorn are new design front and rear and hubs for their C80x series of 1/8th scale on-road kits. The hubs sport separate aluminium bearing inserts that ensure super-precise bearing installation and a drivetrain that produces less drag during acceleration as the bearings do not flex – and pinch – under load. The result is increased drivetrain efficiency that can add up to 2km/h of top speed. In addition the patent pending hubs feature a new geometry for increased steering and traction.
