Coming from Capricorn is the F1-style rear swaybar set for the C-803 1/8th on-road car. The ball-raced system utilises a 2.3mm centre torsion rod that provides very precise response and the assembly is easy to adjust by using different thickness rods. In addition to the included “soft” 2.3mm come optional “medium” 2.5mm and “hard” 2.7mm versions to fine-tune chassis roll. The set includes all needed hardware and ball bearings and it is a direct fit.
Capricorn have introduced several new aluminium servo arms. Machined from high-quality aluminium and being a direct fit on all Capricorn cars the servo arms are available in single and dual arm specifications and for Sanwa/KO and Futaba/Savöx servos with the EP on-road variant featuring a 4mm offset which leads to a perfectly straight steering link on the TE-03 touring car. The arms come anodised in a light gun metal colour and they feature laser-etched markings for easy identification.

Coming from Capricorn and made for the C803 1/8th on-road car is a new short lower wishbone set. The arms are shorter but use longer supports to maintain the given track width. Using them makes for an updated dynamic camber change which can be beneficial in certain track conditions. Included with the set come the new lower A-arms, arm mounts, suspension shafts and grub screws.
