Serpent 733 V2 rear end upgrade-set

Similar in function to that released for the 966 yesterday, Serpent have released this V2 rear end upgrade set for the 733. The new parts enable the rear end and 2-speed brackets to be connected with rubber or aluminium connectors for more or less flex. Delrin bushings are once again included to seat the anti-roll bar bearings as well as the 2-speed axle bearings to prevent slop created by vibrations.
