Serpent S411 option parts

Serpent have release a number of new option parts for the S411 touring car starting with these spring steel double joint cardan shafts with double cvd joint. To be used with a front spool, they reduce vibration, increase steering, and offer smoother operation due to less binding. Also new is a CVD shaft combo with spring-steel axle and hard anodised 7075-T6 aluminium shaft. Lighter than the full spring-steel version but more prone to bend or break in the event of a crash. There is a new belt tensioner with bearings, shims and hardware to be mounted to the top of the top deck. A LiPo battery holder in carbon helps keep the LiPo battery in place even during heavy crashes and it is used in combination with the original nylon parts to guide the glass tape through. Finally there is new lightweight machined aluminium steering shafts with hard anodizing, to replace the standard steel ones giving a weight saving of 70%.

JConcepts Silent Speed spur gears

Designed with several key aspects in focus, JConcepts introduces the Silent Speed line of spur gears for select Team Associated vehicles. Spur gears or straight-cut gears are some of the simplest forms of gears, however they directly influence the ratio, speed and sound of R/C vehicles and they are extremely important. These gears when meshed together correctly provide the transfer of power from the motor to the transmission and are one of the key elements in the versatility and sound of the vehicle. Silent Speed spur gears are precision machined making them uniquely concentric over standard or molded gears giving the user a consistent gear mesh allowing a more precise adjustment and more “silence” on the race track. The detailed machining provides a pattern vented area and secured slipper pad on both sides giving more consistent slipper performance. The gears are marked for size in 2 different ways so they are identifiable either assembled within a slipper assembly or as a stand-alone part. These 48P gears are available in 75T, 78T, 81T, 84T and 87T.
