Capricorn TE04 MDM chassis conversion kit

Coming from Capricorn and made for their TE04 electric touring car is the MDM mid motor chassis conversion kit. Moving the layshaft and motor to the middle of the chassis, the update neutralises the weight distribution and balance in the car. With the latest generation body shells now providing a lot of steering and downforce, the MDM conversion makes the TEO4 more easy to drive over the duration of a run while corner speed and flow between corners is also greatly improved. The conversion features equal length front and rear belts, making for a more balanced throttle response on and off power. The chassis conversion is compatible with standard and short size LiPo batteries, allowing drivers to experiment with the weight distribution and electric layout in the car to suit their needs. This conversion is recommended for medium to large outdoor and indoor tracks. For drivers who are racing on carpet tracks or high traction asphalt tracks, a new aluminium chassis is also available.
