Capricorn LAB C802 1/8th scale chassis

Capricorn have released the follow up to their successful C801 chassis, the LAB C802 is a natural evolution and was in use at the recent 1/8th Euros where it got both cars in the top 4 with Dario Balestri taking the title. Access to the car’s transmission has been made easier with the a new front assembly meaning that is now possible to change both the front and rear belts in less than 15 minutes. The famous 0,8 transmission which inspired the other constructors as it was able to give more traction and handling remains unchanged as does the reverse clutch with ultralight bell. The radio plate is completely new and uses a traditional position for the throttle servo while the floating front mount works on ball bearings, and by simply fastening or removing 2 screws it is now possible to activate the FF2 system (Full Flex System).
