Italian manufacturer Capricorn have widened their platform range, delving in to the 1:8th GT world. Offering a unique design to rivals on the market that will come in a GP and EP platform. The car has some very unique features to that of other’s, the main one being carbon lower and upper arms. The arms are mounted on a pivot ball to the chassis, something which is now widely seen more and more on the 1:10 touring car platforms and proving to be a step forward. Accompanying the carbon lower arm will be a carbon upper arm, opting for this provides a far more stable flex characteristic especially for varying temperatures and traction conditions.

On to the drivetrain and in classic Capricorn fashion it has been made to be as light as possible keeping reliability in mind. With the weight of the chassis in this class, the lighter drivetrain will aid in acceleration.

A low centre of gravity has also been taken in to consideration with super low shock towers and sway bars, along with getting the height of the bulkheads as low as possible for increased corner speed.

There is a range of adjustability through the car from axle height adjustment, differential height adjustment, and a wide range of flex options.
