Italian company Capricorn have introduced a 1-piece engine mount for the C803 1/8th nitro on-road car. The rigid construction not only reduces flex of the chassis centre section, it also keeps the engine’s crankcase from becoming twisted for an overall improved bearing and engine life. On top of this the engine mount makes for easier gear mesh adjustment.

Sharing most parts with the 200mm wide P1 car the 235mm Pro10 features a centre point bellcrank steering system with an in-line servo position, the kit comes with adjustable side links, an aluminium front stiffing rod and the chassis can accommodate optional tungsten weights to alter the weight bias and thus steering and overall traction. On top of this the motor pod allows to mount the speed controller in the motor area for even more weight distribution options.

Furthermore the engine is equipped with front and rear ceramic ball bearings, it is assembled using thoroughly selected parts and its crankshaft, crankcase and sleeve are hand tuned. Offered in very limited quantities, the 3-port ONE engine is only sold in a pre-run version to assure the customer that the breaking-in process has been carried out in the best possible way.

In addition to the included “soft” 2.3mm come optional “medium” 2.5mm and “hard” 2.7mm versions to fine-tune chassis roll. The set includes all needed hardware and ball bearings and it is a direct fit.

Machined from high-quality aluminium and being a direct fit on all Capricorn cars the servo arms are available in single and dual arm specifications and for Sanwa/KO and Futaba/Savöx servos with the EP on-road variant featuring a 4mm offset which leads to a perfectly straight steering link on the TE-03 touring car. The arms come anodised in a light gun metal colour and they feature laser-etched markings for easy identification.
