Capricorn LAB TE03 chassis & bulkhead brace

Capricorn have new option parts for the LAB TE03 1/10th electric touring car available in the form of two different main chassis plates and a reinforcement brace for the bulkheads. Starting with the chassis, new are slim aluminium and carbon fibre lower plates that allow to fine-tune the car to different amounts of traction. Both are 83mm wide which prevents them from scrubbing too much during hard cornering with the aluminium chassis being best suited for high-bite tracks while the carbon fibre variant should excel in lower grip conditions. Also new is a carbon fibre reinforcement plate for the bulkheads, a part that allows to stiffen the bulkheads, again in a wake to adjust to the overall traction available.
