Arrowmax 5200mAh low profile LiHV battery pack

Arrowmax have introduced the first in a line of new LiHV battery packs. Made from 5200mAh 110C/55C LiHV cells the battery offers an increased nominal voltage of 7.6V compared to the 7.4V of standard LiPo packs. Using LiHV-compatible chargers a 2S pack can be charged up to 8.7V or 4.35V per cell, allowing for higher output voltage. LiHV packs are also good to be charged to the standard 8.4V for sanctioned races with the flatter discharge curve compared to regular packs making for more punch towards the end of a run. Arrowmax’ 5200mAh pack measures a standard 139x47mm while offering a low-profile height of 22.5mm. The hardcase battery pack is equipped with the now-standard 5mm through-type connector tubes.

Serpent Cobra SRX8 carbon fibre A-arm inserts

Serpent have introduced front and rear A-arm carbon fibre inserts for the Cobra SRX8 buggy. Cut from stiff 1.5mm carbon fibre the inserts are usable on the top, bottom or both sides of the wishbones in place for the standard composite inserts, resulting in less flexible arms which in turn leads to a more precise handling especially on high-bite surfaces. With three different configurations per arm the inserts allow for maximum tuneability. The parts use the original mounting hardware and they come in sets of two upper and two lower plates available separately for the front and the rear arms.
