Serpent lightweight 1/8th off-road wing

Lightweight Polycarbonate wings are the latest craze in 1/8th off-road racing and now Serpent is jumping on the weight saving train with the introduction of their own featherweight wing. The multi-piece part was designed by Billy Easton and it is made from strong 1mm material. It offers large side flaps, a 7-fin design for stability and lowered outer sections to guide the air towards the side dams and rear gurney. Included comes a separate inner section for added stability and downforce which bolts onto the main wing using a pair of fasteners. The wing comes pre-cut, including mounting hardware, a composite gurney and it is ready for painting or leaving it clear.

Serpent SRX2 MH 2mm carbon chassis

New from Serpent for the Spyder SRX2 MH is this optional 2mm carbon fibre chassis. The carbon chassis can replace the hard coated aluminium chassis, as the alu kick-up is separate from the main chassis and the carbon chassis fits without any further modifications. The standard side guards also fit right on and it works with all 4 transmissions. The carbon chassis is lighter and has more flex, which may help handling on higher traction surfaces.
