Leadfinger Racing SDX4 A2 Tactic body

New from Leadfinger Racing comes the A2 Tactic body shell for the Serpent Spyder SDX4 4WD buggy. The new design draws its influence form the previous A2 designs created by LFR. To bring back some old school style, the windshield has been laid down to remove the steep rake, while at the same time keeping a modern cab forward feel. The combo gives the Spyder a super slick and fast look from nose to tail. The top of the cab has an added roof vent for additional cooling that pushes air flow over the centre diff and motor, further enhancing performance and style. To help keep everything planted, the rear of the cab has the traditional swoop along with added down force ailerons on the top of the side pods. The body comes clear with window masks, stickers and two pre-cut clear Tactic wings included.

RCLabHK roll out Project 4X Evo CF options

Newly founded brand RCLabHK from Hong Kong have introduced a handful of carbon fibre option parts for the Serpent Project 4X Evo touring car in the form of a bulkhead stiffener and a 3mm battery mount. The bulkhead stiffeners are used to brace the left and right bulkhead in order to improve performance on high-grip carpet and asphalt surfaces as they reinforce the bulkhead area for less overall chassis flex which comes in handy especially in high traction conditions. The 2mm stiffeners come separately and including hardware such as M3x20mm screws and 4x3mm or 4x2mm bushings. Also new are the front and rear battery mounts machined from 3mm carbon fibre. Using the parts will improve battery fixing and thus overall reliability.

Reckward-Tuning SRX8 carbon fibre mud guards

RMV Deutschland have introduced the new Reckward-Tuning carbon fibre mud guards for the Serpent SRX8 series of buggies. The parts are moulded from high-quality carbon fibre for a low weight yet greater durability compared to polycarbonate mud guards. The parts attach to the rear lower A-arms and help to keep dust, dirt, mud and moisture away from the rear arms, driveshafts and lower shock parts which results in less dirt and weight build-up over the run. The mud guards come in sets of two and they are a direct fit on the SRX8 and SRX8E.
