Capricorn have introduced new big bore shock springs for the TE-03 electric touring car. Coming in TS2.5 and TS2.7 ratings, the black colour springs come in sets of two and they allow to fine-tune the car’s shock setup easily.
Coming from VBC Racing and made for the WildfireD09 and also older Wildfire kits are several new option parts. First up are red dot composite suspension parts such as steering blocks, front C-hubs and rear uprights. The red-marked composite material is VBC Racing’s stiffest yet and it is suitable for very high traction conditions, improving the car’s precision. Also new and made for the D09 variant are two carbon fibre Centre IsoFlex Linkage braces in 2mm and 2.5mm specifications. The braces replace the standard turnbuckle linkage and allow to fine-tune the car’s flex characteristics with the thinner brace being softer and the thicker brace being harder, reducing the car’s tendency to flex under load.
Available now from Team Magic is a centre differential set for the E5 series of trucks. The diff replaces the standard centre main shaft and spur gear and it features a sturdy composite diff case, metal cross gears, steel cross shafts and it is tuneable using different weight diff fluids to achieve the best balance between traction and drivability.
