Capricorn C03 6-bolt 1-piece engine mount

Coming from Capricorn and made for the C03 1/10th on-road car is a new 1-piece engine mount that utilises up to six mounting screws. The new part allows for the use of the traditional four or up to six screws to secure the engine mount to the chassis. The number of bolts used affects the flex in the central area of the car and provides extra security for the long runs. Being milled out of a single piece of 7075 aluminium, the mount also provides extra stiffness and takes torsion away from the engine crankcase for better overall performance and engine life.

Techra D09 split/1-piece suspension mounts set

Techra’s recently introduced interchangeable split/1-piece suspension mount set is soon also available for the VBC Racing D09 touring car. The kit will include two CNC-machined 7075-T6 aluminium split mounts and also one aluminium and one brass 1-piece connection bride that couples and reinforces the assembly, making it in fact as rigid as a 1-piece mount. The system allows to adapt the chassis twist to various track conditions and thanks to including a lightweight 3.1g alloy and a heavy 9.8g brass bridge, users can also fine-tune the car’s weight distribution. The split mounts were designed to accept the original suspension inserts and the set also includes four red anodised 1mm aluminium shims.

Triton L4 & L5 Pro Spec V2 Elite off-road engines

Coming from Triton are the new L4 and L5 Pro Spec V2 Elite .21 nitro off-road engines. Both feature a new piston/sleeve design, increasing fuel mileage and providing a more aggressive bottom end power delivery while the carburettor low speed needle and housing design has been changed to provide even easier tuning. On top of this the crankcase has been optimised for power and efficiency by manipulating the internal volume and angles and the crankshaft received a DLC coating for added wear resistance and longevity. Both engines also received a new cooling head that is milled for easier engine mount driver access. As for the characteristics, the L4 offers a smooth bottom end and strong mid range and top end performance, ideal for looser tracks while the L5 delivers huge low end torque, making it best suited on high-bite tracks or when a lot of low RPM torque is needed.
