Made for the C803 on-road car are Capricorn’s new shorter rear driveshafts. 1.5mm shorter in length than the standard items, the driveshafts allow to run the car with a more narrow rear track width which can be beneficial on tight and technical tracks or even necessary when running large off-set wheels.

Capricorn RC have introduced the Dynamic upgrade kit for their 1/8th scale C803 chassis. The set consists in a total of three 2mm graphite plates that serve different purposes. The first plate raises the front bulkhead, bringing it higher from the ground in order to improve the steering response entering the corner and raising the corner speed. The other two plates raise the radio tray, so as to reduce the torsional flex bringing the two elements further from each other.
