From DeadFly is this new top deck for the Capricorn TE mid motor TC chassis. Optimised to improve the flex characteristics in low traction conditions, the flex can be altered by either using or removing the rear centre screw from the top deck. Additional flex can also be obtained by cutting the rear carbon tab of the top deck with a Dremel or similar cutting tool, to increase the length of the flex point, further increasing flex in the rear of the car. Together with the use of the screws under the motor mount, you have access to a large range of flex options and characteristics. CNC machined from high quality 2.0mm 3K carbon fibre there is also a version available in a 1.6mm.
