X Factory and Ellis Stafford are proud to announce the new E-Speed motor plate to fit all 4-Gear X-Cars. Fresh from his dominating victory at the TLR Super Cup race, Ellis releases the newly designed motor plate to improve motor cooling and reduce bending. Made of 7075 aluminium, the new plate is stronger than the standard motor plate and has extra material too. Extra cooling areas make the plate even more efficient than the old one it replaces. The color matches Ellis’s motor plate support bracket and his heatsink/fan mount, so the three parts play very nicely together.

Capricorn got in touch to tell us about their new 1/8 scale setup system and ultra lightweight chassis for the LAB C-801. The setup is specially designed to allow the adjustment of the the rear camber and toe settings without the need to remove the body mount. Cut-outs in the aluminium camber and polycarbonate toe plates leave room for the body mount. This makes for fast and easy set-up changes. The updated ultra lightweight chassis for the LAB C-801 features a re-designed front area with additional material removed under the front bulkhead area resulting in more torsional flex creating an increased steering response with the positive effect of saving some weight.
