Capricorn LAB-C801 option parts

Capricorn have been busy lately, with more new parts for their LAB-C801 chassis. First up is the new set of lightweight red anodised aluminium wheel nuts, that replace the quick release lever, allowing for a more accurate and true mounting of the wheels. Next up are a pair of rear shock stays, which have the same design as the original carbon version but have been made from treated steel for more strength. A new rear body mount centering assembly, with new carbon plate, features ball bearing for a smoother movement. For tuning purposes there is a new 3.2mm rear wire anti-roll bar, which comes with the mounting collars and ball bearings. And finally for all 1/10th scale cars, Capricorn also have a simple set of nylon rear wing screws & nuts.

Capricorn LAB C801 & C01 options

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. The parts include shock caps, ball joints and more.
