Capricorn Lab C03 hard chassis & new engine mount

Capricorn Lab C03 hard chassis & new engine mount

Capricorn have two new option parts for the Lab C03 200mm nitro car available in the form of a hard main chassis plate and a monoblock engine mount. Starting with the chassis, the part is designed to be an option for the standard flex chassis that comes with the car kit. The hard chassis is meant to give less flex which allows to fine-tune the car to different track conditions. Also new is the monoblock engine mount that stiffens the rear part of the chassis under the engine mount area. The single piece part is of a heatsink design to assist with heat dissipation from the engine’s crankcase.
