Yet more new products from Capricorn with the release of their P10 SR 1/10th scale 4wd EP pan car, which we showed renderings of back in August. The car will run a 200mm standard width with 45mm wide rear tyres and 30mm front and is designed to accept a shorty pack or standard square style battery with the ability to run up to 3S. While the rear of the car is fixed and with a straight axle there is little to adjust, up front the flex can be adjusted by loosening or tightening the nuts on the front lower carbon plate for a different feeling if needed.

Capricorn have just dropped this higher spec .21 on road engine to add to their ONE range. Based on the R21 from OS, the engine is a 7 port design and features a new hand tuned liner and specially made piston. The crankshaft has also been tuned to aid in performance along with a new under-head button. They claim that overall the engine will have more power than previous versions and not hinder run time in doing so.

Coming soon from Capricorn RC is the Italian brand’s new TE05 MDM electric touring car platform. The car will feature longer suspension arms front and rear, the front being +2mm longer and the rear +3mm longer which provides the car with more overall traction and corner speed. In addition to the longer arms there will be a new rear uprights, front c-hub and steering knuckles, with all these parts now being made in house. New shock towers and shocks will also be included in to the updates resulting in a lower CG which makes the car more stable at higher speeds and especially in higher traction conditions. Finally a new mid pulley system will be added with additional bearings for better longevity.
Italian brand Capricorn have developed a new platform, a 1/10th pan car that is essentially a scaled down version of the 1/8th 4wd pan car they already produce. Called the P10 SR, it will run a 200mm standard width with 45mm wide rear tyres and 30mm front. Designed to accept a shorty pack or standard square style battery, you have the ability to run up to 3s. While the rear of the car is fixed and with a straight axle there is little to adjust, up front the flex can be adjusted by loosening or tightening the nuts on the front lower carbon plate for a different feeling if needed.

Coming from Capricorn and made for their C04 platform are carbon shock extensions that mount directly to the rear wishbones. The parts are designed to work in addition with the new rear eccentric system. The lower shock position can now be moved more inboard or more outboard, depending on the eccentric position, ensuring a wider range of setup possibilities. The kit includes the lower arms, carbon fibre extension as well as mounting hardware.

Capricorn have introduced their newly designed 7075 aluminium chassis for the Lab C04 nitro on-road kit that now accepts add-on brass centre weights. The main plate can be loaded with up to three 20g brass weights that can also be shifted forth and back when using one or two weights. Both the chassis and weights are available separately.
Capricorn have introduced new shock bodies and pistons for their C804, C04 and TE04 platforms that create progressive shock action. The inner part of the shock bodies feature machined pockets that are wider at the bottom and narrower at the top and in combination with a special shock piston, a progressive shock action can be obtained that starts on the soft side while becoming harder during the shock compression. Testing has shown that the shocks will assist with stability and provide higher cornering speeds. The shock bodies will become available for the 1/8th scale C804, as well as the 1/10th scale C04 and TE04 platforms.
