Serpent have introduced the Sport version of their 190mm EP Touring Car the S411 Sport. It uses the same geometry and the latest RCM shock absorbers but the cost savings come through the use of the black glass-fibre chassis, top-deck and shock towers. In the rear it comes supplied with a race spec gear differential while the front comes fitted with a lightweight spool. The car can also be easily upgraded to the full competition spec chassis.
ARC have released this new option chassis for their R10 touring car. The optional flex type chassis is made from 2.5mm carbon fibre and they added 2 layers of glass fiber in the middle to give more flex. Their testing showed that with 2 layers of glass fiber the chassis was more flexible and made the handling more predictable. The new chassis also provide a extra hole for a battery holder and shorty LiPos can be used. The new 1.6mm thick upper deck also gives more flex as well as more steering and stability especially on low grip track conditions.
