STRC Arrma 1/10th 2WD alloy option parts

STRC have introduced more aluminium option parts for Arrma’s line of 1/10th scale 2WD vehicles. The new launch includes aluminium front and rear shock tower braces, heavy duty front skid plates, and machined aluminium hex adapters for the front and the rear. The shock tower braces greatly improve the durability of the upper shock mounting location and eliminates flex of the shock tower while the CNC-machined front skid plate is made out of thick high-quality aluminium to take a lot more abuse than the stock plastic piece and to provide much better protection to the front hinge-pin area. The CNC-machined aluminium hex adapters feature set-screws that pins the hex adapters to the axle so the hex adapter does not fall off and cause to lose the drive pin when removing the wheels. The components are available in anodised blue, gun metal and red.

Serpent 977 low-friction pulley set

Serpent have introduced a low-friction belt pulley set for the 977 1/8th on-road car. Made using a new composite material that creates a super-smooth surface the pulleys make for a more efficient drivetrain and thus overall improved performance. Due to the material being a bit softer than the standard black parts the wear rate is slightly increased. Included in the set come all needed front, side and rear pulleys.
