Capricorn C03 6-bolt 1-piece engine mount

Coming from Capricorn and made for the C03 1/10th on-road car is a new 1-piece engine mount that utilises up to six mounting screws. The new part allows for the use of the traditional four or up to six screws to secure the engine mount to the chassis. The number of bolts used affects the flex in the central area of the car and provides extra security for the long runs. Being milled out of a single piece of 7075 aluminium, the mount also provides extra stiffness and takes torsion away from the engine crankcase for better overall performance and engine life.

Techra D09 split/1-piece suspension mounts set

Techra’s recently introduced interchangeable split/1-piece suspension mount set is soon also available for the VBC Racing D09 touring car. The kit will include two CNC-machined 7075-T6 aluminium split mounts and also one aluminium and one brass 1-piece connection bride that couples and reinforces the assembly, making it in fact as rigid as a 1-piece mount. The system allows to adapt the chassis twist to various track conditions and thanks to including a lightweight 3.1g alloy and a heavy 9.8g brass bridge, users can also fine-tune the car’s weight distribution. The split mounts were designed to accept the original suspension inserts and the set also includes four red anodised 1mm aluminium shims.
