Capricorn RC have introduced a new line of one piece engine mounts made with a patented new material. The nominal weight is more than 300% higher than standard Ergal 7075 aluminium, almost 51g compared to 15.5g, with more than double the heat dissipation. Perfect for bringing the weight to the lowest and most central part of the car and of course better cooling for the engine crankcase. Expect it to become available in the next 15 days for the Capricorn LAB-C01, Xray NT1, Kyosho V-One series and Shepherd V10.
