New from CSO RC Racing products in Hong Kong is this carbon chassis plate for the Serpent 733 1/10th scale chassis. This CNC machined plate is made from high quality 3.5mm thick carbon fibre and while looking great, we can’t help but think that this goes away from the principle that it is better to keep the cars heavy parts as low as possible, by making this part so lightweight it would raise the centre of gravity.

Designed to fit perfectly in Team Associated’s 16mm big bore shocks, these Factory Team precision-machined tapered Delrin pistons have been extensively track tested and race proven by AE’s racing team over the course of the 2009 season. These pistons, packaged in sets of four, are perfectly suited for use in the RC8B and RC8e thanks to the more progressive damping characteristics provided by the 10×1.1mm-hole pattern.
