Capricorn have released a whole bunch of new options for their LAB C801 and C01 chassis’. First up is rear flex system for the C801 which allows the rear of the car’s radio plate to flex separately from the radio plate mounting bracket giving more overall grip. This can be used with the optional full flex radio plate to give more steering and which was used by Dario Balestri to take 3rd place at last month’s World Championships. Also for the C801, something taken from the C01, is the new front anti-roll bar system that allows you to use a wire in place of the regular blade system. The wire is available in 3 different diameters, 1.3mm, 1.5mm and 1.7mm. For the C01 200mm chassis there is new ultra lightweight spring steel wheel axles that use the traditional nut mounting for the wheel. Also for that car, with some parts fitting the NT1, is a range of plastic parts that have been made in a new white plastic compound for a longer life.
