H2 Racing Development 419MM V2 chassis kit

H2 Racing Development have released the V2 version of their 419MM kit, based on the TRF419. The mid-motor design, compared with the mid-pulley design, gives the chassis more stability and a better feel, which they claim makes it easier to handle in different traction conditions. Not only does the chassis and deck have a new and slimmer design, this V2 kit has also different lower bulkhead positions. This change gives the front and rear belt the same size and distance as the 420MM, meaning they use the same belt set. The suspension arm mounts have also had a small change, again to make it as similar as possible as the 420MM. Other updates are the new shock towers for the SSBB damper and the batteries are now also more centrally located for more equal front and rear weight distribution. This kit is suitable for the TRF419, 419X & 419XR.

Serpent Natrix 750 Evo 1/10 GP

Serpent have introduced the Natrix 750 Evo, the follow up to the company’s successful line of 1/10th 200mm nitro cars. Starting with the back bone of the car, the chassis has been improved regarding its flex characteristics and now takes on the isolated weight bridge from the 989 and incorporates a way to use a small adjustable weight in the front for high grip conditions. The rear suspension is all new and features the possibility of a toe change during suspension travel which due to its unique design there is zero binding under all circumstances. In the neutral position the toe-change is absolute zero however the higher the link is mounted on the upright, the more toe-gain is achieved under compression resulting in more rear traction under acceleration. The 2-speed gearbox is also completely new and is based on the 989 gearbox and bullet-proofed. The shocks are taken from the 989 and provide trouble-free, low friction action for increased traction. As an option you can now mount a heave damper setup on the front and the rear, in this way it is possible to change heave adjustments more or less independent of roll adjustments. As an example it is possible to have a very light roll damping combined with a very high heave damping, something which is not possible with a classic suspension. The third damper can be used to only alter the damping characteristics without a third spring, but also to add a spring to alter spring rates for heave.

Team Bomber TB-AK12 S-line side springs

Team Bomber have produced this new range of S-line springs for their TB-AK12 1/12th scale pan car. These HQ side springs are best suited for a wide range of popular carpets, high-grip road surfaces and conditions where a solid diff is used. The result of a close cooperation with a Japanese spring manufacturer with testing and technical capabilities they found that the taper of the springs helps reduce on power traction loss during cornering when using a differential. Made with high quality materials, the number of winds of each spring and all their dimensions have been carefully checked to ensure consistency and the best end product. Available in two versions, blue (soft) and white (hard).
