Serpent 733 Rear end stiffener

New for the Serpent 733 is this precision machined aluminium rear end stiffener. To be mounted between the rear brackets and the legs of the lower engine mount support, the long screws replace the standard versions in the car mounted from the top. This option offers an extra possibility to play with the rear end flex of the car and will also increase rear end rigidness, so the chassis will be less prone to bending in the case of a rear end crash.

Titanium Racing Interlocking radial drive spools

New from Titanium Racing, their latest spool features a new interlocking radial drive system which reduces loadings on the outdrives resulting in less deformation under load. Manufactured from an aero grade 7075 T6 Alloy body with replaceable high impact Delrin outdrives, with integrated sleeves, the radial drive system produces a more direct and equalised load around the circumference of the outdrive reducing potential stress areas on the spool, the bearings and ultimately the bulkheads. The new arrangement features increased diameter outdrive cups making them significantly stronger than previous designs and the outdrives are now secured in place with Titanium countersunk screws ensuring a lightweight solid and concentric unit with better balance for reduced losses at higher RPM’s. Available for the Schumacher Mi3 and Mi4, Tamiya 416, Top Photon, Yokomo MR4 BD5, Hot Bodies Cyclone and Associated TC5.

STRC HPI Blitz Aluminium Option parts

ST Racing Concepts have released a massive new range of option parts for the HPI Blitz Short Course truck. All parts are made from aluminium and all are available in Gun Metal, Orange, and Silver anodizing. First are these front caster blocks, steering knuckles and rear hub carriers. The rear hub carriers features a set-screw over hinge-pin design that securely keep the hub carriers on the hinge-pins, and also keep the wear to a minimum by making the hinge-pins rotate in the arms and not in the aluminum hub carriers while also increasing the durability. Next up is a new HD front shock tower, HD rear shock tower and rear camber link plate. The heavy duty front and rear shock tower will eliminate the flex, keeping your suspension operating true to its design, while the rear camber link plate improves durability in this normally weak area on the short course truck. Also new is a front suspension brace, front and rear chassis brace and HD front bulkhead. The CNC machined front aluminum suspension brace is a great improvement over the stock piece providing much needed strength to the front suspension when used in combination with the front bulkhead. The front and rear chassis brace help strengthen the front and rear end of the chassis.

Serpent have released new optional rear belts for their 733 200mm chassis. The first, an orange version of the standard kevlar reinforced belt, comes in 5mm (wide) making it more durable than the 4mm kit version, while sacrificing some drag. Serpent have also released a low friction Pro version of this new belt, which again is stronger than the standard 4mm belt but allows for a smoother drivetrain, eliminating most of the drag caused by having the extra width.
