Capricorn RC heavyweight engine mount

Capricorn RC heavyweight engine mount

Capricorn RC have introduced a new line of one piece engine mounts made with a patented new material. The nominal weight is more than 300% higher than standard Ergal 7075 aluminium, almost 51g compared to 15.5g, with more than double the heat dissipation. Perfect for bringing the weight to the lowest and most central part of the car and of course better cooling for the engine crankcase. Expect it to become available in the next 15 days for the Capricorn LAB-C01, Xray NT1, Kyosho V-One series and Shepherd V10.

Capricorn RC Hard Tuned engines

Capricorn RC have announced their new Hard Tuned engine treatment which they have applied to Novarossi, Sirio, O.S. and Picco motors. All engines are hand tuned to maximize performance and give the end user a top level engine. Internally the engines feature a hand worked crankcase to reduce the mixture turbulence flowing into the combustion chamber, while the liner has also been polished and hand worked. The crankshaft has been worked and balanced to increase high end rpm and a better bottom rise and polished manually to give better mixture flow.
