Serpent have released the webbed silicone shock absorber membranes for the Cobra buggy to help reduce shock fading. This membrane features re-enforced webbing and will keep its shape under higher pressure and higher temperatures. A direct replacement of the standard membranes, they may fit other brands of 16mm shocks too.

From Xray, the new aluminium front anti-roll bar for the NT1 allows you to independently adjust the anti-roll bar from the downstop, so that the downstop setting does not influence the performance of the anti-roll bar and vice versa. An added feature of this set is that you can also adjust the wheelbase. The anti-roll bar moves together with the front arm, and wheelbase adjustment shims can be added either in front of the anti-roll bar, to shorten the wheelbase, or behind the arm, to lengthen the wheelbase.

Smokem Racing’s DEX410R carbon fiber shock towers are a direct replacement for the aluminium shock towers found on the Durango DEX410R. Aluminium parts can often bend on impact which can be hard to detect with the naked eye and this can alter the shock geometry and handling of your buggy. The Smokem towers are not only tougher but are also up to 40% lighter than the standard aluminium units. Additional shock mounting holes have been provided to allow racers to further fine-tune the handling of their DEX410R or DEX410.
