Capricorn C04 200mm nitro on-road kit – Coming soon
Italian company Capricorn has released a first teaser and information on their forthcoming new C04 1/10th nitro on-road kit. The follow-up model from their highly successful C03 platform will feature many new upgrades such as an all-new 7075 aluminium chassis which will feature shiftable weights under the fuel tank area for increased weight balance and stability. Also new is the ability to change the rear geometry greatly with the lower arms now mounted in adjustable inserts for up to twelve different geometry settings. Also new for the C04 is the ability to run a rear upper camber link instead of a solid arm, resulting in more flex for the lower arm, which can greatly improve the car’s rear traction in certain conditions. Other new features include an updated upper deck with a new fuel tank mounted from the top for easy removal of the tank, the battery will be mounted on the left side of the upper deck for optimsed weight balance, and there will be the option to change the front flex from soft to hard for a greater set up window in different traction conditions. New steering hubs will be another new feature to achieve a greater steering lock and rear CVD driveshafts will be available as an option. The kit is set for a release in late March.
