Serpent S100-LTR 200mm pan car kit

Serpent have introduced the latest version of their S100 200mm pan car, the S100-LTR. The kit is based on an updated, wider chassis that allows for multiple battery positions. Cut from 2.5mm carbon fibre the chassis is topped off by a small and lightweight T-brace that acts as the battery and centre shock mount while newly designed battery locators keep the battery pack in place. Also new with the LTR are updated steering knuckles with inserts that allow for king pin angle changes while the new single bellcrank steering system with in-line servo positions takes care of the steering duties. Beside the bellcrank steering also a standard “direct” servo mount position is possible. Another new feature up front are redesigned upper arms that do away with the previous horizontally mounted upper pivot ball in favour of a more traditional vertical setup. Other new parts include a friction-free central pivot ball system for the rear power pod, a redesigned rear pod plate and lighter aluminium rear brackets. The kit is rounded out by Serpent’s RCCX pan car shock absorber and available now.

SpeedMerchant GT4-R rubber tyre pan car

Coming soon from SpeedMerchant is the GT4-R rubber tyre pan car. Specially designed for the new rubber tyre World GT class the car is based off of the GT4 pan car with some extra tuning options to help get a little better balance and corner speed out of the spec rubber tyres. Because of the height of the rubber tyres the kit will include black anodised military spec aluminium spacers for under the front of SpeedMerchant’s New School Suspension locking in the front ride height at just over 5mm. The spacers also insure that the suspension stays perfectly flat for precise adjustments while being able to take a hit without moving. The new GT4-R main chassis allows to run a transverse or in-line battery and the car also sports changed up wheelbase and width settings for maximum rubber tyre performance. Despite being in prototype stages the car already scored some impressive results at the recent Cleveland Indoor Champs with a round TQ and a second overall in this new and hotly contested class.

Team Associated RC8B3 FT CVA driveshafts

New from Team Associated come Factory Team CVA driveshafts for the RC8B3 and RC8B3e. They can be used as a tuning option to the universals that come standard in the kits as the CVA assemblies will provide a more aggressive steering feeling, perfect for use on smoother track surfaces. They include steel axles from standard but the an optional aluminium axle can be used for further adjustment to minimise both rotating and unsprung mass, giving an even more aggressive steering feeling and quicker acceleration; ideal for smooth tracks with high-grip levels. All components in the CVA sets are available as individual parts and can be rebuilt as wear occurs using the rebuild kit.
