RS5 Modelsport T15 1/5th scale Touring car

RS5 T15 1/5th scale Touring car

RS5 Modelsport introduce the follow up in their successful line of 1/5th scale touring cars, the T15. With a recent push to use ultra soft compound front tires, this new car has been developed with, among many other things, additional setup options to help tune out front mechanical grip if needed. A weight distribution change to increase the rear end grip of the car they created new wishbones that are offset to the front. With this modification the complete centre part of the car has been offset rearwards creating an more rear heavy car, without adding any extra weight. On the alloy chassis under the rear differential there are now 4 threaded holes to allow the user to mount additional weights to the car in this beneficial position.

Capricorn TE03 EP Touring car

Following input from team drivers Eric Dankel and Kyle Branson Capricorn have update the suspension on their electric touring car and will soon release the results, called the TE03. The suspension mounts are no longer mounted to the chassis plate but instead to the differential mount, while still utilising the same bushing system as in its predecessor. The new system uses shims to adjust the front and rear track width, rear toe and the opening of the arms on the front. This new configuration allows the chassis to flex more freely and works with the new floating steering design that can be adjusted for different flex characteristics. Other new items include new upper front tie rod mounts and lower front bumper and bumper plate.
