Capricorn P1-235 front chassis plate

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.

Capricorn C803 front upper arm mounts

Capricorn have introduced this new set of front upper arm mounts for the C803. The new mounts are 1.5mm higher than the standard version. This makes it so that the lower position obtainable with the eccentric inserts is the same height as the central position on the old version, while the higher position allows for a lower roll centre than before. The new mounts also limit the caster adjustment range, and are therefore meant to be used with the new shorter arm pins.

Capricorn C803 aluminium servo arm

Capricorn have introduced a new aluminium servo arm for the C803 1/8th on-road car. The fixed length arm does away with the possibility to adjust the inner steering link ball stud positions in favour of tried and tested settings yet it is still possible to move the ball studs closer or further apart and therefore changing the Ackermann angle by changing the inserts.
