Coming from Capricorn and made for the C803 and C03 nitro on-road cars is a tungsten battery plate. Machined from extra heavy material the battery plate weighs in at 86g and thanks to sitting in the lowest area of the chassis, it greatly lowers the overall centre of gravity while also quickly and conveniently upping the car’s weight when needed.

Coming from Capricorn and made for the TE-03 electric touring car is the EXF aluminium chassis.

Coming from Italian company Capricorn are new Nickel-plated wheel axle shims and a 2.7mm rear swaybar for the C803 on-road car. Starting with the axle shims, the parts are cut from high-grade 7075 aluminium and they underwent a Nickel treatment process to make them highly wear resistant. Also new and made for the C803 is a 2.7mm rear swaybar wire that adds to the already existing range.

Capricorn have introduced the new Sapporo ball bearing kits for the C803 1/8th scale car. Containing 18 Japan-made high-quality ABEC X grade ball races each, the kits are available for the “standard” and “lightweight” transmission configurations and they are meant to greatly reduce drivetrain friction and thus up acceleration, top speed and milleage.

Capricorn have introduced two new Tesla-branded set-up stations for 1/8th and 1/10th nitro on-road cars. Both are made of black anodised 7075 aluminium and they come with laser-engraved markings for easy and precise wheel camber adjustments. Additional polycarbonate plates make front and rear toe settings a breeze. Both systems come in handy bags for convenient storage and transportation.
Coming from Capricorn and made for the C03 1/10th on-road car is a new 1-piece engine mount that utilises up to six mounting screws. The new part allows for the use of the traditional four or up to six screws to secure the engine mount to the chassis. The number of bolts used affects the flex in the central area of the car and provides extra security for the long runs. Being milled out of a single piece of 7075 aluminium, the mount also provides extra stiffness and takes torsion away from the engine crankcase for better overall performance and engine life.
Italian company Capricorn has introduced the Evo chassis for the C803 1/8th scale car. Made from high-quality aluminium and coming hard anodised the black colour chassis allows to use the new 15g cylindric centre and 16g side weights to optimise weight distribution and adjust the overall weight. The chassis and weights are sold separately.
