Serpent S411 option parts

Serpent have release a number of new option parts for the S411 touring car starting with these spring steel double joint cardan shafts with double cvd joint. To be used with a front spool, they reduce vibration, increase steering, and offer smoother operation due to less binding. Also new is a CVD shaft combo with spring-steel axle and hard anodised 7075-T6 aluminium shaft. Lighter than the full spring-steel version but more prone to bend or break in the event of a crash. There is a new belt tensioner with bearings, shims and hardware to be mounted to the top of the top deck. A LiPo battery holder in carbon helps keep the LiPo battery in place even during heavy crashes and it is used in combination with the original nylon parts to guide the glass tape through. Finally there is new lightweight machined aluminium steering shafts with hard anodizing, to replace the standard steel ones giving a weight saving of 70%.

Xray X12 1/12th pan car

Xray have released the next evolution of the XII, the all-new Xray 1/12 pan car platform, the X12. Direct feedback from factory team drivers, as well as customers from around the world, allowed the Xray factory to turn a concept into reality… this is what we do best at Xray. New battery placement means better car balance and weight transfer and stiffer chassis material and more robust suspension material creates a car that is significantly easier to drive. By rethinking and then creating a completely new geometry where they elongate the wheelbase and widen the front track-width, they have created a car that works exceptionally well for beginners, highly-skilled drivers and everyone in between. And to make a car even easier to work on, they replaced the side shock with newly-designed side tube lateral dampers. Lowered rear bulkheads and an improved rear axle system allow the use of super-small tires while providing a super-low center of gravity.
