Coming from Capricorn and made for the P1-235 1/10th scale pan car is a new front chassis plate. The updated design allows to move the servo towards the front end of the car, leaving enough room to fit a standard-size LiPo in the battery compartment and not being limited to shorty battery packs. As a result more powerful motors can be used while also allowing to play more with weight distribution.
