Capricorn Quantum 1:8 Onroad Chassis

After unveiling the first CAD images last October, Capricorn officially presents the new Quantum 1:8 Onroad, a completely new project that marks the beginning of a new era for the company.  The Quantum is the result of an extensive process of design, development, and technical validation. Over the past four months, the car has undergone an intensive testing program in prototype configuration, allowing all key technical solutions to be fully validated. Today, the car is complete in every aspect. Thanks to Capricorn’s production facility in Cologno Monzese, component manufacturing and track testing take place in extremely short timeframes, allowing Patrizio Rossi and his team to immediately refine every detail and optimize each technical solution. The development process was focused not only on creating a new model, but also on defining a base setup that is truly usable by all drivers, from professional racers to hobbyists. Development will continue intensively over the coming weeks, with the goal of starting the first deliveries by the end of January, bringing to the track a technically advanced, reliable, and high-performance project, in true Capricorn style.

PNP release a 1:8 Onroad Body & Wing Gauge

Spanish onroad accessories and optional parts brand PNP (Pata Negra Parts) has created this 1:8 Onroad Body & Wing Gauge.  Aerodynamic setup is a key factor in the 1:8 Onroad chassis performance and measuring & checking body and wing height is necessary in order to get the maximum performance.  Body rear height highly affects the general downforce (front and rear) generated but also results in more aerodynamic drag while wing height affects a lot the car setup being an easy way to achieve a good balance.  Machined from 3mm carbon fibre and finisged with silk printed graphics both side, the PNP Gauge is designed to be used with the car placed on 20mm setup blocks, as it is done in the race technical inspection.  Using the gauge, drivers will be able not only to check if their car is legal, but what is more important is that they will be able to measure and share with their teammates these two aerodynamic setup aspects.

Team Saxo F1 Body with Helmet, Halo & Mirrors

New from Team Saxo comes their latest 1:10 F1 body shell which comes complete with Drivers Helmet, Halo and Mirrors.  With similar narrow style to 1:10 F1 cars, the body is designed with modern style and high down-force details for the good looks and high performance. Team Saxo say the design allows the user to cut to the desired height and achieve a close to ground stance that will reduce airflow under the car while scooping up as much airflow as possible from behind the front wheels and directing it down the side through the deep scalloped pods and channels towards the rear wing.  The profile is sleek and low with a sharply curved nose.
