Serpent X20 Medius 4WD electric touring car

Following a couple of teaser images on social media, Serpent have fully unveiled their all-new X20 Medius 4WD electric touring car kit. The chassis is based on the popular Medius mid-motor design, using a light weight and strong 1-piece motor mount concept, without any interference between the front and rear chassis flex while still allowing centre flex adjustability. The advantage for this style of design is to allow maximum flex capabilities without impacting the drivetrain, meaning smoother power delivery, more consistency and less chance of stripping spurs. Using the last four years of development, the X20 keeps the successful 4X proven pivot ball style suspension setup allowing for easy and fast adjustments to camber, toe, track width etc. A new 2-point steering crank system has been implemented for more Ackermann adjustment, coupled with the 4X geometry.

Power HD Storm-S15 reverse receiver wire servo

Power HD have introduced their all-new Storm-S15 reverse receiver wire low-profile HV brushless servo. With the receiver wire leaving the case on the opposite side of the outdrive gear – and thus on the inside of the chassis in most cases – wiring can be carried out much neater compared to standard servos that always have the wire on the “outside” of the chassis. Therefore the servo is the ideal choice especially for 1/10th touring cars, as it not only make for more tidy wiring but also prevents the wire from being exposed in the case of a crash. Other features include a 2-tone case anodising on the aluminium case with silver, golden or red details being available, and high-torque aluminium and steel gears make for exceptional durability.
