Capricorn C03 & C803 adjustable weight battery holder

Capricorn have introduced a new adjustable weight receiver battery mount for their Lab C03 and C803 cars. Machined from carbon fibre the mounting plate utilises two movable 13.5g tungsten weights that allow to adjust the overall weight bias while adding weight at the lowest point of the chassis, ensuring a lower overall centre of gravity. The carbon fibre mount comes with a machined lot for the battery tape, making for easy and secure receiver battery mounting and the 13.5g weights are understood to also become available separately to further up the weight.

Xray XB4 aluminium shock towers

Xray have introduced new aluminium shock towers for the XB4 series of buggies. The parts are machined from high-quality 7075 aluminium and they come black anodised for wear and looks. The front tower features lowered upper shock mounting positions and an overall lower design for an optimised centre of gravity while the rear tower matched the shock positions of the carbon fibre part, however it sports new outer wing mount positions that allow to shift the rear wing up and down to adjust the aerodynamic balance of the buggy. The 3mm thick shock towers offer increased overall stiffness compared to the carbon fibre parts for an easier to drive and more predictable car when running in high-bite track conditions.

This ensures the selected height will always stay the same compared to the popular threaded twist-type mounts whose height adjustment can change over time.
