From Schumacher, this Icon thread insert kit includes everything needed to replace the M4 nuts on the front wing assembly with easier to use M4 thread inserts. This greatly improves the security, ease of fitting and removal of the front wing and enables the wing to be fitted with both screws when also using the U8123 narrow width option.

From DeadFly is this new top deck for the Capricorn TE mid motor TC chassis. Optimised to improve the flex characteristics in low traction conditions, the flex can be altered by either using or removing the rear centre screw from the top deck. Additional flex can also be obtained by cutting the rear carbon tab of the top deck with a Dremel or similar cutting tool, to increase the length of the flex point, further increasing flex in the rear of the car. Together with the use of the screws under the motor mount, you have access to a large range of flex options and characteristics. CNC machined from high quality 2.0mm 3K carbon fibre there is also a version available in a 1.6mm.

With this Elliott Boots Edition shock conversion kit the driving behaviour of your SWorkz can be adapted to many different track conditions, the British driver playing a key role in its development.

The front upper shock mounting positions on the new tower are 6mm higher, while on the rear it is 7.5mm with the front and rear shock bodies 2.3mm and 2.5mm longer respectively. On the conversion, Elliott said “The longer shocks and higher towers makes the car feel more consistent and gives the car an easier to drive feeling on the track.
