New from Xray for their RX8 1/8th scale chassis is this aluminium lower suspension holder. CNC-machined from the highest-grade Swiss 7075 T6 aluminium, this ultra-strong construction helps increase lifespan and durability.
Serpent have released more new optional parts for their newly released S411, with the introduction of some new aluminium parts. First up are these aluminium track-rods (M3x38mm) and aluminium camber-rods (M3x26mm) to replace the kit spring-steel version, for those drivers looking for extra weight savings. Serpent have also produced a 19T anodized aluminium middle shaft pulley. This new part is very light and offers a lower wear rate with less debris staying on the pulleys surface than the kit version.

Seen at the World Championship back in April, Serpent have released their new new super-light gearbox for the 966. The current Serpent gearbox system has been in use for a very long time, and the Serpent design has become the industry standard, with small revisions only. Stronger engines, research, racing and new insights have fueled the new gearbox design and the goal was to reduce inertia, fluent power transfer and increase reliability even further. The gears have been improved, made lighter, more durable with improved gear mesh. A new aluminium flange which seats the German made one-way bearing is lighter and the bearing is seated more in the inside of the flange for better balance. A new aluminium bell is stiffer and thicker to stand the force of the shoes better and the bearing is in the center to create even forces on the bearing. A new aluminium brake-pulley adapter features 3 steel pins, and also requires a new brake-disk which is also included, and a new mono-type side pulley/pulley-adapter.

Serpent have introduced some new tuning parts for their all-new, newly released S411 EP touring car. First up is the release of 2 new chassis plates, in 2.0mm and 2.25mm, which gives racers the opportunity to experiment with different chassis flex settings compared with the standard 2.5mm thick chassis. Also new is the optional thicker 2.5mm top deck which stiffens the the car more compared to the kit 2.0mm version.

Arrowmax have released these front CVD wheel axles for the Xray RX8. Available in three different types of material, including 7075 aluminium, spring steel and titanium, for a choice of light weight, durability and a combination of both.

Seen at the ETS series Rd5, Xray have released their complete gear differential set for their T3 chassis. Including composite differential case and cover with pulley, the differential gears are made from a tough composite material, precision-molded composite gears combined with light aluminum hard coated outdrives, which create a lighter and super-smooth gear differential. Not factory pre-assembled, the advantage of the gear diff is that it is maintenance-free. When the diff is correctly built there is no need for maintenance for a very long time. There is no need to change oil on a regular basis, and there is no leakage due to the very good sealing system. 10 grams lighter than the competition, the gear diff also increases on-power steering which is needed on almost all types of tracks. Works great for both carpet and asphalt tracks and fits both 50mm & 52mm drive shafts.
Serpent now offers a hard anodised chassis plate for the Cobra Buggy and Truggy. Machined from 7075-T6 aluminium the hard anodising makes the chassis’ bottom last longer on tracks with stones and hard surfaces. Additionally the chassis are a bit stiffer compared to the kit item adding another setup possibility.
