Xceed NT1 & 733 composite gear diff gear sets

Xceed have composite gear differential gear sets for Xray NT1 and Serpent 733 1/10th scale gas cars. The precision molded composite gears, combined with light alu shafts, create a lighter and super smooth working gear-differential. The NT1 set needs just the gears and shafts, while the 733 also needs the light steel adapters and small bronze bushings to complete it. For both cars the alu shafts are a direct replacement for the original ones.

Serpent 966 Link system

Seen at the World Championships last year, as well as other races, the new Serpent link system for their 966 chassis is now available. Consisting of 2 trackrods that connect the radio plate to the radio plate bracket, this allows the two parts, which were previously fixed together, to move separately of each other which allows the user to create and control the flex in the car. This upgrade requires that you have the latest radio plate bracket in which the required hole in the X shape has already been created, however it is a simple modification for those that don’t have this. Available at the end of April.
