time for something different.
The Capelli K6 is a 1:6 scale electric competition kart chassis, inspired by the latest generation of KZ racing karts. Designed from the ground up for competitive R/C racing, it combines authentic kart styling with a lightweight pan car derived chassis platform to deliver the direct steering, low centre of gravity, and agile handling that karting is known for.
Sometimes, different is exactly what club racing needs.

Replacing the LiPo battery pack is extremely quick and easy. Partially loosen the two flat head
screws beneath the battery slot. Lift the driver figure to provide enough clearance for the battery pack to slide in or out.
The integrated radio box is concealed within the driver figure, providing a clean appearance while securely housing the receiver and electronics. The driver also serves as actuator for the pitching damper assembly, combining multiple functions into a compact, innovative design
The K6 incorporates a functional 30mm cooling fan duct that channels airflow over the esc and motor.
Inspired by the radiator location
on a full sized kart, the duct improves cooling efficiency
and helps maintain reliable
operating temperatures.
Designed around the standard 540-size motor, the K6 supports both 1S and 2S power systems, with 2S operation ideally paired with a 21.5T motor. The inline motor and ESC layout positions the electronics close to the rear axle, centralising mass to maximise rear grip and optimise handling.
A pitch damper system controls chassis rotation (pitch) around the centre pivot. It plays a critical role in rear traction, corner entry stability, and overall chassis
response. Proper tuning of
this system allows the
kart to be adjusted
for different
track conditions
and driving
styles.
Two-piece forged carbon chassis designed around a central pivot for the pitching damper system. This chassis architecture allows the front and rear chassis sections to articulate independently, improving mechanical grip while maintaining exceptional stiffness and compliance.
Fully adjustable front-end geometry. Camber, caster, roll centre, ride height, toe and Ackermann can all be independently tuned to optimise steering response, cornering balance and overall
handling.
An eccentric kingpin provides quick and precise front camber adjustment by altering the stub axle angle relative to the chassis. Simply rotating the kingpin within the steering knuckle changes the camber setting, allowing accurate tuning to suit different track conditions and handling preferences.
