New from Fenix Racing, for the Associated F6, comes a full set of 7075 aluminium option parts. The new chassis weighs in at just 84 grams and sports some important features such as the ability to use straight or angled links and a more slim profile of the outer “wing” sections to further reducing scrubbing during cornering. One of the more interesting new parts is the caster adjuster, that allows you to change caster in a matter of second without having to find the right insert. To complete the set there is a 2mm thick 7075 motor pod.
Capricorn have introduced this new set of front upper arm mounts for the C803. The new mounts are 1.5mm higher than the standard version. This makes it so that the lower position obtainable with the eccentric inserts is the same height as the central position on the old version, while the higher position allows for a lower roll centre than before. The new mounts also limit the caster adjustment range, and are therefore meant to be used with the new shorter arm pins.
