Rebellion RC X20 Crossflex aluminium chassis
The new Rebellion-RC Crossflex aluminium chassis for the Serpent X20 touring car is here. The chassis was developed for use in medium to high-bite traction conditions with its highly machined design allowing for optimised flex characteristics that can be greatly influenced with the use of up to ten optional brass inserts that not only add weight in the lowest area of the chassis, but they can also be used to change the overall torsional flex characteristics. The sidelines of the chassis have a front to rear 30° chamfered edge for better sliding behaviour when the chassis touches the ground and the cutouts for the Diff/Spool also have chamfered edges to get more space between the rotary parts and the chassis. The chassis is machined from high-quality 7075 T6 aluminium, it comes black anodised for wear and looks, features a laser-engraved Rebellion-RC logo and it weighs in at 84g alone and up to 130g using the optional brass inserts.
Capricorn P10 SR 1/10th 4wd EP pan car
Yet more new products from Capricorn with the release of their P10 SR 1/10th scale 4wd EP pan car, which we showed renderings of back in August. The car will run a 200mm standard width with 45mm wide rear tyres and 30mm front and is designed to accept a shorty pack or standard square style battery with the ability to run up to 3S. While the rear of the car is fixed and with a straight axle there is little to adjust, up front the flex can be adjusted by loosening or tightening the nuts on the front lower carbon plate for a different feeling if needed.

Capricorn ONE .21 engine
Capricorn have just dropped this higher spec .21 on road engine to add to their ONE range. Based on the R21 from OS, the engine is a 7 port design and features a new hand tuned liner and specially made piston. The crankshaft has also been tuned to aid in performance along with a new under-head button. They claim that overall the engine will have more power than previous versions and not hinder run time in doing so.

Exotek Racing Slash carbon drag options
Exotek Racing have gone big into the growing drag scene and today have released some goodies for the 2wd Slash and Bandit. First up is this extra long adjustable carbon fibre wheelie bar, which extends from 9.5″ to 12.5″ (axle to axle) to match NPRC race class rules. The longer bar gives you more stability, for straighter and faster passes without needing to let off the throttle as often. You are able to finely adjust the wheel height via the 4mm turnbuckle or make large adjustments by adding spacers under the wheel. Made from heavy duty 3mm carbon fibre with alloy turnbuckles and mounts it includes a ball raced machined alloy wheel with oversized rubber o-ring tire. For the Slash, and also suitable for oval body mounting, is a heavy duty carbon fibre and alloy base body mount set. Extending the body mount back by 28mm and out of the rear windows of most street eliminator cars, the rigid carbon fibre construction ensures less body bounce and flex. Finally there is the new low profile, low ride height heavy duty 4mm thick carbon fibre front shock tower for 2wd Slash street eliminator cars. The lowered tower allows you to mount the body lower and when using Traxxas 4tec shocks it further lowers the front ride height.
Capricorn RC TE05 MDM EP touring car
Coming soon from Capricorn RC is the Italian brand’s new TE05 MDM electric touring car platform. The car will feature longer suspension arms front and rear, the front being +2mm longer and the rear +3mm longer which provides the car with more overall traction and corner speed. In addition to the longer arms there will be a new rear uprights, front c-hub and steering knuckles, with all these parts now being made in house. New shock towers and shocks will also be included in to the updates resulting in a lower CG which makes the car more stable at higher speeds and especially in higher traction conditions. Finally a new mid pulley system will be added with additional bearings for better longevity.
T-Works TC-01 suspension mounts, spool & driveshafts
