Capricorn have introduced the new One .21 Euro Spec nitro engine. The O.S. based power plant is equipped with a special Capricorn design cooling head for looks and performance and it is available with standard steel or ceramic main bearings and as standard or hand-tuned variant.
Capricorn have introduced a new extra hard clutch spring for their 1/8th on-road clutch system. The optional spring will make the clutch more resistant, it improves performance and ensures longer durability compared to the stock item.

Coming from Capricorn are new design front and rear and hubs for their C80x series of 1/8th scale on-road kits. The hubs sport separate aluminium bearing inserts that ensure super-precise bearing installation and a drivetrain that produces less drag during acceleration as the bearings do not flex – and pinch – under load. The result is increased drivetrain efficiency that can add up to 2km/h of top speed. In addition the patent pending hubs feature a new geometry for increased steering and traction.
Coming from Capricorn and made for their TE04 touring car are new split suspension mounts cut from heavy brass material. The inner mounts help to add weight to the front, the rear or both locations at the same time, helping to shift the weight balance forth or back or add overall weight when running lightweight components. The mounts sport machined markings for easy identification and they are available now.

Coming from Capricorn are new shorter shock shafts for the company’s big bore shock absorbers. 2.5mm shorter than the standard shafts the short-type items make for an optimised positioning of the shock pistons, resulting in increased overall traction. In addition the shafts are made of a new material with an updated surface coating making for a smoother finish than TiN-coated shock shafts.

Coming from Capricorn and made for their LAB TE04 touring car are two new top decks. The narrow design carbon fibre upper decks are available in a thicker 2.0mm and thinner 1.6mm variant to increase torsional flex and thus corner speed when running the optional aluminium chassis. The top decks also help to fine-tune the car’s overall stiffness when running the carbon fibre chassis low to medium-bite conditions.

Coming from Capricorn is the new High Response Mode brass suspension mount. Machined from high-quality brass material and coming in a natural finish, the mount is a direct fit and usable with the kit’s composite hinge pin inserts, allowing for swift and easy suspension geometry changes while adding weight to the front or rear corner of the car which can be beneficial in certain track conditions.
