Serpent have new option parts for the Spyder SRX2 RM and MM buggy available in the form of aluminium C-hubs and uprights. Starting with the C-hubs, the black anodised parts feature additional roll centre settings and are of greater strength than the kit’s plastic hubs. The parts are usable with the standard composite inserts and include 2 special length threaded ball joints that prevent the ball cups from popping off in the event of a crash. Also new are aluminium rear uprights. Like the C-hubs the parts offer added durability, improved looks and additional ball stud mounting positions. The uprights come as pair and include new ball studs.

Exotek Racing introduce this direct spur mount for Serpent’s SRX2 series of buggies. Designed for the use in stock motor classes and oval racing, the spur mount eliminates the slipper assembly in order to make for a lighter drivetrain which improves acceleration and lowers the running temperatures of the motor. The hub assembly weights in at only 5.8g, which is almost the half of the stock slipper assembly and the design allows for easy switching between the gear hub an the stock slipper assembly when conditions call for it.

Coming in pairs the parts are machined from high-quality aluminium, they are orange anodised and offer a thicker mid section for added durability.
