CRC Spur gears, top plate & camber gauges

CRC have released a number of new products starting with these new molder spur gears. The new spur gears use a 16 ball design to increase contact surface so your diff nut requires less tension to keep the diff from slipping. Less tension on the diff parts means more racing and less rebuilding. These new gears also use 3/32″ balls rather than 1/8″ to keep the rotating weight down and not sacrifice punch by adding the extra balls. Available in 76, 80, 88 and 96T. Also new is the rear top plate which closes in the rear pod, making for a stiffer, stronger pod. This does add some weight as you will have to replace the micro left bulkhead with another motor plate, but is especially helpful in modified where the extreme horsepower can cause some flex. This also makes the rear bottom plate more resistant to breakage during crashes. Finally there are new carbon fiber camber gauges that allow you to quickly and accurately set your camber. Works on 12th and 10th scale cars with measurements from 0.5 to 3.0 in 0.5 increments.

Capricorn anti-vibration engine mount

Capricorn have introduced their new anti-vibration engine mount. Many hours of work and testing have led Capricorn to develop this new anti vibration system, specifically made for the brand new Lab C801. This patented system has been designed to work with any brand of engine available on the market and each engine will need a specific engine mount with a dedicated mass damper. The purpose of this device is to dampen the alternate movement of the piston with a specific counter balance weight. The calibrated weight, that is located in a cavity between two dampening materials, reduce the vibration made by the engine which is normally transferred to the engine mount and then to the chassis. No word on a release date.
