Capricorn 804 Centre Weight

New from Capricorn comes this new Centre Weight which is a technical detail for their 804 1:8 Onroad chassis. Designed to optimise mass distribution and further lower the centre of gravity, the carbon plate features a thin outer contour, while the 80 gram brass weight is fully embedded into the carbon, sitting perfectly flush and as low as possible on the chassis. This solution maintains the full flexibility of the chassis, adding weight in the most neutral area of our 804, without altering the car’s dynamic behavior while enhancing overall responsiveness. The result is a compact, flexible and clean assembly, improving stability and precision under all track conditions. The new design also allows the weight to be rotated 180°, thanks to the upper housing for two additional tungsten plates, allowing the mass to be shifted forward or backward, adding 13.5 grams per side, for a total of +27 grams where extra balance is needed.

Inov8 MTC3 SlimX TopDecks

Invo8, formerly RC Maker, has introduced the first of many model specific option parts with the release of their SlimX topdecks for the Mugen Seiki MTC3 Touring Car. Available in 3 configurations for maximum tunability, the SlimX topdecks offer superior flex adjustability so you can now you can tune with both screws and cut tabs in the topdeck, which has become a staple in touring car engineering. The 1.6mm topdeck is particularly suited to lower traction tracks, or tight tracks where more flex is required for additional rotation. It can also be paired with the 2.0mm in the rear for added stability. The 2.0mm Fibreglass topdeck utilises G10 FRP Material which offers a more progressive and dampened flex characteristic, whilst being slightly softer than it’s carbon fibre counterpart. This is a great mid range option between the 2.0mm Carbon and 1.6mm Carbon Topdecks. The topdecks include 110 degree countersunk screws for the body stopper and are used as this leaves more material on the topdeck improving the rigidity and durability.
