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.

The inner mounts help to add weight to the front, the rear or both locations at the same time, helping to shift the weight balance forth or back or add overall weight when running lightweight components. The mounts sport machined markings for easy identification and they are available now.

Capricorn LAB TE04 2.0mm & 1.6mm upper decks

Coming from Capricorn and made for their LAB TE04 touring car are two new top decks. The narrow design carbon fibre upper decks are available in a thicker 2.0mm and thinner 1.6mm variant to increase torsional flex and thus corner speed when running the optional aluminium chassis. The top decks also help to fine-tune the car’s overall stiffness when running the carbon fibre chassis low to medium-bite conditions.
