Capricorn LAB C802 1/8th scale chassis

Capricorn have released the follow up to their successful C801 chassis, the LAB C802 is a natural evolution and was in use at the recent 1/8th Euros where it got both cars in the top 4 with Dario Balestri taking the title. Access to the car’s transmission has been made easier with the a new front assembly meaning that is now possible to change both the front and rear belts in less than 15 minutes. The famous 0,8 transmission which inspired the other constructors as it was able to give more traction and handling remains unchanged as does the reverse clutch with ultralight bell. The radio plate is completely new and uses a traditional position for the throttle servo while the floating front mount works on ball bearings, and by simply fastening or removing 2 screws it is now possible to activate the FF2 system (Full Flex System).

Other changes include the 0.8mm higher main shaft axle and new redesigned chassis with improved weight distribution and a constant flex control. Finally the car comes with the new front number which they claim helps improve the car’s reactiveness on the fast corners and improves the car’s accuracy in the slow parts of the track thanks to the way it funnels the air on its bottom side. Due to the new design they have also managed to reduce the number of parts used in the car.

Other new parts include
– New front shock tower
– New front hub plate
– New rear body stand
– New front lower arm
– New front Bumper
– New rear geometry
– New front belt tensioner system
– New option to lower or raise both front and rear axle
– New front bodyshell holder
– New middle belt tensioner system
– New engine mount
