Coming from Capricorn and made for the LAB P12 1/12th scale pan car is the X-hard carbon fibre main chassis. The bottom plate features smaller cutouts and a different shape which results in increased torsional flex compared to the standard chassis and thus improved handling characteristics and higher corner speeds on high to very high bite surfaces.

Capricorn have introduced the ONE brand aluminium parts tray with tool support to clean up pit and work spaces. The tray is machined from high-quality aluminium, it features milled-out compartments that can be used to arrange small parts such as wheel nuts, body clips and more, and in addition the tray comes with a water-cut foam that takes a range of tools to have them handy without messing with pit space. The tray comes with a black and golden finish and laser-etched One logos.
Coming soon from Capricorn is the F1-02 1/10th formula car kit. The pan car makes use of a new full-carbon fibre front end with different inserts allowing to admits the caster angle in a 3 degrees to 12 degrees range while the wheel camber can be set in a 1 degree to 2.5 degrees range. The servo has found a new in-line mounting position while the LiPo battery can be attached in an in-line of transversal position – depending on the track’s traction conditions. In terms of the suspension the car offers adjustable front downstops thanks to threaded kingpins and a rear weight balance option allows to fine-tune the weight balance. The kit is rounded out by a rear droop adjustment using a dedicated nut on the centre shock and an aluminium lightweight rear axle comes standard in the kit. The already introduced laser-cut precision shims continue to be used for the adjustment of the front roll centre and rear ride height.
Coming from Capricorn’s ONE brand is a new combustion camber insert for their O.S. based .21 engines. The updated insert features an optimised design with a different plug/piston distance and internal shape for optimised engine performance. Included with the laser-etched and marked insert comes an assortment of head shims.

Made for the C803 on-road car are Capricorn’s new shorter rear driveshafts. 1.5mm shorter in length than the standard items, the driveshafts allow to run the car with a more narrow rear track width which can be beneficial on tight and technical tracks or even necessary when running large off-set wheels.
