Capricorn 1/8th scale V3 shock absorbers

Capricorn introduce their new V3 shock absorbers for the company’s 1/8th on-road kit. They are of an updated design that allows to use one or two O-rings in the lower cartridge for smoother operation with reduced friction or improved sealing. A newly designed piston rod uses a screw to keep the piston in place for easier setup changes and a fixed piston that does not rotate within the shock housing. The 1/8th scale V3 shocks are available in 57.5mm and 60.5mm length and are meant to work best with 60 shore volume compensators.

Smokem T4’15 IIX carbon fibre chassis

Smokem T4'15 IIX carbon fibre chassis

With the recent release of the updated Xray T4’15, Smokem Racing has now released an updated IIX chassis for this popular electric touring car. Made from their proprietary Pro-Weave 100 percent carbon fibre construction, which is stiffer than a conventional weave, yet softer than a quasi weave, the 2.0mm thick chassis material allows to lower the overall centre of gravity for optimum response and corner speed. Flex is also improved to deliver greater traction over a wider range of track conditions and temperatures. The chassis’ contoured shape was developed through an extensive prototype and testing phase, the result of which saw significant gains in high speed steering and transitional response. Furthermore, the differential and spur gear openings are closed off to further enhance flex characteristics and improve airflow on the bottom of the chassis.
