Capricorn TE03 bridge-style topdeck

Seen in prototype-stages at the recent fourth round of the 2015/16 ETS in Riccione, Italy, Capricorn now officially launch their all-new bridge-style topdeck for the TE03 touring car. Doing away with the conventional horizontally-mounted flat topdeck the vertically-placed bridge variant will totally change the flex characteristics of the car while keeping it tweak-free at the same time. The design will also improve traction by distributing the wheel loads more effectively. The topdeck is available as an upgrade kit including new bulkhead mounts and it is usable on both the TE03 and TE03 Evo.

Protoform Body Support Foam set

Coming from Protoform and made for most touring car bodyshells is the new Body Support Foam set. Designed to eliminate the gap and play between the car’s foam bumper and the inside of the body the blocks and strips keep the front of the body supported for both increasing durability and keeping the aerodynamic integrity of the body intact. Each set comes with four blocks and four strips with super-sticky adhesive backs. The blocks are 9mm thick and are a quick solution to pad bodies in extremely forward mounting positions, as seen in 1/10th touring cars, and also works great with bodies that have a long front overhang. The 2mm thick strips can be used to fine tune this gap in smaller increments and can be cut and stacked on one another. The foams can be added both to the foam bumper or to the bodyshell.

Reedy have introduced two new high-voltage digital low-profile servos. Developed with both touring cars and 1/10th buggy racing in mind, the RS0806 LP (0.06s/8.3kg-cm) and RT1408 LP (0.08s/14.3kg-cm) offer precision metal gears, powerful motors and aluminium middle cases for fade-free performance. High-voltage compatibility means that increased ESC BEC output voltage can be used without fear of damaging sensitive internal components. Both servos also offer a stealthy black appearance with black receiver leads and they make use of standard 25T spline servo arms.
