Capricorn C803 front differential

Capricorn have introduced a front differential set for their C803 1/8th scale car. Intended for the use in low-grip conditions, using a front differential gives a different on-track feeling and allows for 4-wheel braking while also making the car easier to drive. When used with a 30T front pulley the suggested diameter delta between rear and front wheels is 6mm instead of the usual 7mm, whereas when using a 29T pulley the delta should be brought down to 4.5mm.

Capricorn ONE restrictor set

Capricorn introduce the new ONE restrictor set. Provided in three different heights but all with 9mm diameter, the restrictors have been designed to be used on all Novarossi and OS on-road engines to fine tune the response of your engine. The shorter restrictor is meant to improve the bottom end power, while the longer one increases the top speed, all three giving different feelings to the user.

Capricorn RC TE-03 Pro-Light chassis

Capricorn RC have introduced the latest version of their TE-03 touring car called the Pro-Light. The new car is equipped with all the options featured in the Power Light skit presented earlier in the year. The 2-piece “Light” motor mount allows the user to play with flex and brings the motor 6mm inwards. Thanks to the use of the latest F4 chassis and the asymmetrical top deck, the single piece motor mount can also be used as an option. The kit also features the latest V4 big bore shocks and the lower shock towers, especially useful on high grip surfaces as carpet.

BMT 984 rear shock tower

BMT have produced this new rear shock tower for their 984 1/8th scale chassis. The new tower offers an additional position for mounting the rear shock absorbers. Made from high quality carbon fibre, the way in which the tower is mounted to the bulkhead helps provide more flex to the rear assembly thus helping to provide more traction.

Yokomo BD8-2018 EP Touring Car

Yokomo have introduced the follow up to their World Championship winning 1/10th scale EP touring car kit, the BD8-2018. Available at the end of October the new version is a further refinement of the previous model to push the limits further. In order to reduce the weight of the drive train the front spool has been redesigned and is now a single piece composite part in place of the previous aluminium and plastic assembly, but still uses metal outdrives. All the suspension parts in the car have been updated to a harder material to increase the overall performance. The upper deck and main chassis has also been redesigned to increase the rigidly and optimise the balance of the car. While the updates may seem minor and conservative they actually offer a big improvement in all areas. As a special offer for the first batch they will also include the rear toe control system (B8-RTC18) for free.
