Capricorn C8SR side-by-side battery conversion

Capricorn have introduced a new side-by-side battery conversion for the C8SR 1/8th scale stock pan car. The kit allows to run two standard-size battery packs side-by-side, replacing the kit’s stand-up brick position while the speed controller will be moved to the upper area in front of the motor. The result is an optimised weight balance and better heat dissipation of the batteries which will greatly improve life span.

Yeah Racing body post markers & 1/8 fan mount

Coming from Yeah Racing are two new items in the form of magnetic body post markers for 6mm posts and an aluminium fan mount for 1/8th scale motors. Starting with the magnetic post markers, the items help to precisely drill touring car body mount holes as they conveniently locate the body post position on both clear and painted body shells. The set consists of four aluminium body post maskers and four O-shaped magnets and using the tools is very easy as the clamping-style body post markers are simply attached to the body posts, then the body will be put on top and placed as needed. The four magnets will then be placed on top of the body posts from the outside, marking the body post positions while also holding the body in place. Through the magnet’s holes the body post positions can be marked using a sharpie pen and drilled using a reamer. The set is available in red or black colour.
