Seen at February’s Toy fair, Hudy have now released this range of stylish car stands for both 1/10 electric and nitro touring cars as well as a version for 1/8th scale off road buggies and truggies. The surface on both stands is black powder coated for maximum long life and to withstand abusive working conditions and has a very small footprint making it very handy to pack for travel. Strategically-placed holes provide a great place for temporarily storing standard or big-bore shocks during rebuilds, and laser-engraved markings (FL, FR, RL, RR) ensure you keep track of the proper shocks. Four rubber feet mean that the stand will stay firmly in place and not move while working on the car and 2 super-soft foam strips bonded to the top surface make sure that the car will sit softly and will not move while you’re working on it. Laser-engraved Hudy logos adorn the stylish black powder coated surface.

Also new for the Serpent 960 is this aluminium radio plate support with brass weight. Similar in structure to the previous aluminium bracket, this version has been modified to accept the brass weight and will come as standard in future 960-08 kits. The accompanying brass weight adds 50 grams to very centre of the car and is mounted as low as possible in this area so as not to adversely affect the centre of gravity. Similar in concept to the previously released brass battery holder, this system gives a more neutral handling characteristic than that of the battery holder yet has the same benefits.

Serpent have announced the release of this new shock tower for the rear of the Serpent 960. Made from 3.5mm thick carbon fibre, the new shock tower features a 2nd, higher mounting hole for the centring pin. This hole allows for the rear body mount to be set at its highest setting, while still being able to be centred. Some new low body shells work best when they are raised at the rear and this new shock tower facilitates that. This part will come as standard in future 960-08 kits.
