New for the S411 from Serpent comes this lightweight nylon spool. Saves 10 grams weight, compared to alu spool, it can also be run without the alu bushing but with the bushing it will be more secure especially in modified.

Finally for the S411 and other 190mm touring cars is the Lex-IS 190mm touring car body shell. Made from top-quality 0.8mm lexan it is lightweight but very stable too. On asphalt the the body creates a very neutral and easy handling, but can be raced aggressively as it offers lots of traction and steering. On carpet the steering response is more direct. 2 versions are available, one clear version and one semi-painted version, which needs one or more colors to finish it. The body comes complete with masking sheet and head- tail-light / grill sheet.
