Reds Racing introduce new exhaust manifolds

Italian company Reds Racing have introduced new exhaust manifolds for .21 rear exhaust outlet engines. The new design connects the manifold to the engine with a much better fit. The end result improves the strength and durability of the spring retainers. The new design also provides improved cooling in the exhaust area to guarantee longer life for the gasket, equalling lower maintenance costs. The manifold is available in three sizes; the medium variant is recommended for short tracks where more bottom torque is required, but top speed will be lower. The second is the short manifold that is recommended for medium or standard-size  tracks. It is a good compromise between torque and top speed. Last but not least comes the XS extra short variant that is recommended for tracks with long main straights and to achieve the highest top speed but lower bottom torque.

Capricorn C803 aluminium servo arm

Capricorn have introduced a new aluminium servo arm for the C803 1/8th on-road car. The fixed length arm does away with the possibility to adjust the inner steering link ball stud positions in favour of tried and tested settings yet it is still possible to move the ball studs closer or further apart and therefore changing the Ackermann angle by changing the inserts.
