Italian on-road racing manufacturer Capricorn has published CAD images of its upcoming LAB F101 1/10-scale formula racing kit. Though the company did not include any details of the car or intended release date, the pictures show a narrow carbon fiber chassis with red-anodized aluminum pieces like the front bulkhead and rear motor pod. The front suspension shows carbon fiber lower arms with molded composite uppers reaching out to the pivot ball front hubs, and a low-profile servo will mount directly behind the assembly. It doesn’t look like there’d be enough room to run anything but a shorty LiPo pack and still have room for the speed control. A single rear shock is attached to the battery brace, the rear pod is supported by springs on both sides of the chassis, and the rear axle mount can slide up and down to change ride height.

We expect more information before the car is released.
