Schumacher mass damper set

Schumacher have released their latest competition racing design innovation, the mass damper set. The mass damper will reduce the effect small bumps have on the car and changing the mass and oil used will alter the amount of damping. The tuned mass damper will move out of phase with the vibrations caused by bumps which helps to keep the tyres in contact with the track, offering improved traction and lap times. This also helps with improved curb riding capability. Can be used on any car where space allows it to be fixed to the chassis. Use either the 23g or 12g mass depending on track conditions and use the shims to alter the preload on the springs.

Serpent 750E Natrix 1/10th 200mm EP chassis

The 750E Natrix is the latest electric version of the 750 from Serpent. With the technology development in electric racing over recent years that has led to massive power, especially in the popular dragster class in the US, the power going through the transmission is extreme. The 750E is designed to take care of that power and put it down as effectively as possible. Based on the ultra-successful 750 gas racer it shares it’s suspension, shocks and quite a lot of other features like the chassis plate and driveshafts. A new battery plate for the double LiPo packs and an updated top deck for the electronics are the most visible differences between it and the nitro powered version, with the other main changes are the motor mount and pinion/spur gear assembly.
