Serpent 747 option parts

Serpent have released a number of new optional parts for their new 1/10th 200mm chassis, the 747. First up is this lightweight CNC machined upper bumper made from high quality carbon fibre, which comes complete with aluminium posts and fasteners. Next up is a CNC machined radio plate support made from 7075 T6 aluminium and grey anodized. This support will increase chassis stiffness in the central section of the car while the 2 mounting lugs on the side of the part, allow the optional carbon side stiffener, used to reduce flex. The final two parts are anti-roll bar and lower shock mount extensions, machined from carbon fibre, which allow the ARB to be mounted more to the outside and the shocks more to the outside for a harder setting on both.

Avid Avert TLR22 Spring Cups

Avert aluminium spring cups from Avid are made for the TLR22, adding extra security to your ride without sacrificing weight or putting a huge dent in your racing budget. Featuring a unique angled slot design they add 2 elements of safety. A rigid aluminium spring cup won’t flex and spread open, slipping off of the shock end in a crash, while the angled slot design adds another element of interference to keep the spring cups from popping off in a crash. The spring cup must lift completely off of the eyelet for removal. Weighing in at 1.3g each they are made from 6061-T6 aluminium and black anodized.

ARC R10 optional flex chassis

ARC have released this new option chassis for their R10 touring car. The optional flex type chassis is made from 2.5mm carbon fibre and they added 2 layers of glass fiber in the middle to give more flex. Their testing showed that with 2 layers of glass fiber the chassis was more flexible and made the handling more predictable. The new chassis also provide a extra hole for a battery holder and shorty LiPos can be used. The new 1.6mm thick upper deck also gives more flex as well as more steering and stability especially on low grip track conditions.

Pro-Line Black Diamond shock shafts

More new items from Pro-Line with the release of these Black Diamond shock shafts for the TLR22, B4.1 and B44.1 racing buggies. After months of research, development and testing Pro-Line has produced what they believe is the best performing high-end racing shock shafts ever produced. Starting with the highest grade USA forged Alloy, the shaft is then precision centerless ground and machined to absolute tolerances and finish specifications using CNC machines in the USA. They then roll form the threads instead of cutting in the threads for the highest strength threads possible and then coated each shaft with Black Diamond DLC coating. This coating creates a much harder surface than standard TiNitride shaft coatings and delivers a 10 times smaller Coefficient of Friction for the smoothest shock action that has ever been achieved. As mentioned previously, for 1/10th buggies Pro-Line have officially released their popular Crimefighter and Bow Tie thread in 4wd front and 2/4wd rear tire form respectively.
