European 200mm Champions Capricorn have sent us the first CAD images of their new 1/8 Competition racing car. The Italian company tell us that the prototype has already been running for some weeks, getting a lot of important testing done. Based on the winning knowledge gained from their 1/10th chassis, Capricorn have developed this model applying the most innovative solution and technologies. A super low centre of gravity aids the handling, while ease of access to all the parts and an intuitive and fast set up system make the car enjoyable to work on. They expect to perform further testing and development in this final part of the year and aim to have the car ready for the start of the 2011 season.
Continuing to release parts for their S811 Cobra, Serpent have released two new spur gears for the buggy. Available in 44T and 48T, they have been precision machined, from special hardened steel. Each gear sports the Serpent logo and the number of teeth for easy identification and are supplied with the seal.
Seen for the first time at the toy fair in Germany, the first product introduced by Swedish company DirtChamp Design is the multiuser RC Lap Counting system called TimeR. A unique link to your laptop PC enables you to follow the racing action in real‐time. Since no cables are required the level of simplicity is yet unseen in RC lap counting. They believe that TimeR will revolutionize the way people race RC Cars. Clubs can now easily afford their own lap timing system, the basher can set up a track in their backyard and race for the win, and the racer now has the perfect tool to become the next Marc Rheinard, Adam Drake or Ryan Mayfield. After a fully booked pre‐order list, the Swedish RC Multi User Lap Counting system is now ready for worldwide shipping from the company website.
