Following the introduction of their latest 1/8th scale chassis Italian company Capricorn now also have first information on their forthcoming new 1/10th scale 200mm car available. The LAB C03 is an evolution of its predecessor, the C02, with the transmission has seen a bit of a make-over to become easier to work on. Several redesigned areas reduce the overall number of parts for improved reliability and reduced maintenance time. Also new on the drivetrain are redesigned tensioners for all three belts and the ability to run high or low front and rear axles. A redesigned chassis makes for improved weight distribution and constant flex control for more steering and traction. Another new chassis part is the completely redesigned radio plate which uses a traditional position for the throttle servo and a floating, ball-raced front mount for the FSS front flex system. Other new features include new shocks, a redesigned engine mount and alternative link position for the rear upper links providing better traction in low grip conditions.

H-Speed, the brand of European front runner Hupo Hönigl introduce an optional carbon fibre main chassis plate for the Team C TM4 4WD buggy. Made from 2.5mm carbon material the chassis allows for more torsional flex which provides improved handling characteristics in nearly every track condition while giving added rear traction on power and improved corner entry steering at the same time. Using the chassis also scrubs around 90g of weight compared to the standard aluminium chassis. The chassis is a direct fit on the TM4 and does not require any modification.

Made for the Team Losi Mini 8ight Truggy are three new carbon fibre option parts from Xtreme Racing in the form of a front and rear shock tower as well as mud guards for the rear A-arms. The shock towers come made from 3mm carbon fibre and replace the stock aluminium towers. They mimic the standard suspension geometry and offer several mounting positions for the shocks and camber links. The rear wheel guards are again made from high quality carbon fibre material and prevent excessive dirt build-up around the driveshafts and shocks when running Team Losi’s mini truck off-road.
