Coming from Serpent and made for the Cobra SRX8 Evo are aluminium centre dog bones. The lightweight driveshafts replace the standard spring steel shafts and are about 50 percent lighter for improved acceleration and braking. A black anodised surface makes for wear and looks and the parts are also usable on the standard SRX8 when used in combination with the optional #600936 spring steel driveshaft adaptors.
Coming very soon from Serpent is the new Cobra SRX8 Evo 1/8th scale nitro buggy kit. The Evo variant sports some subtle updates for improved performance and easier maintenance and it is based on a newly designed 3mm 7075-T6 aluminium chassis that features an optimised engine position and a grey coating. Also new are the 4.5mm 7075-T6 aluminium front and rear shock towers to which updated shocks attach. The latter can now be build as membrane or emulsion-type damper thanks to a dual system.
Serpent have announced their new Serpent Performance Team merchandise in the form of T-shirts and a cap. The shirt features the newly introduced SPT logo on the front, with additional space being given do add more sponsor logos if needed while the back is decorated with a Serpent Racing Team writing. The shirts are available in adult XS to 3XL sizes and they are made using a cotton/nylon mix fabric. As for the cap, the round bill hat sports the SPT logo and an additional writing on the bill and it is made of high-quality black cotton fabric.
Coming from Serpent is a suspension upgrade set for the Cobra GT 1/8th on-road cars. The set includes new carbon fibre shock towers with additional mounting positions for the shock absorbers and camber links as well as a third front body post, new aluminium front and rear shock extensions as well as front and rear aluminium shock standoffs. The parts will make for an updated suspension geometry that creates a more responsive car with better steering, improved balance and reduced tyre wear. Coming as set and also available separately the parts fit all Cobra GT range nitro and electric kits, race rollers and RTRs.

Serpent have introduced blade-less spool outdrives for the Project 4X touring car. The parts are machined from super-strong spring steel and their design does away with the usual C-shaped driveshafts blades that can break when using high-power motors or when running on very high-grip surfaces. The outdrive cups are strategically machined for a low weight, they offer reduced play for improved efficiency and consistent cornering and they are also usable on the Eryx 411 line of cars.
