Capricorn C803 front differential

Capricorn have introduced a front differential set for their C803 1/8th scale car. Intended for the use in low-grip conditions, using a front differential gives a different on-track feeling and allows for 4-wheel braking while also making the car easier to drive. When used with a 30T front pulley the suggested diameter delta between rear and front wheels is 6mm instead of the usual 7mm, whereas when using a 29T pulley the delta should be brought down to 4.5mm.
