Serpent have issued first images of some soon to be released optional parts for the 977 1/8th on-road car.

Also new is a low-friction belt pulley set that will improve acceleration and overall drivetrain efficiency. The new parts will hit the stores shortly.

Yokomo Europe BD7 silver brass -1mm arm mounts

Yokomo Europe have introduced new silver brass -1mm suspension mounts for the Yokomo BD7 touring car. The parts are machined from heavy silver brass material, making each about 10g heavier than the respective alloy counterparts for added weight at one of the lowest points of the chassis. In addition to allowing weight bias fine-tuning and gaining overall weight, the parts are also 1mm lower that the standard alloy suspension hangers, making running lower suspension pin settings possible; something the Yokomo team drivers have been using with great success at select races. Available is a full range of split and 1-piece front and rear mounts.

Reflex Racing RX4-16 chassis & T4 shock towers

Coming from Reflex Racing and made for the Xray T4 touring car are the RX4-16 quasi carbon fibre chassis and 4mm carbon fibre shock towers. Starting with the chassis plate, the RSD RX4-16 was developed for the Xray T4 and it is made from RSD’s own quasi isotropic 2.0mm carbon fibre for more rigidity, translating into increased response, grip and a lower centre of gravity over the stock unit. The shape profiles for the chassis have been developed over the past year with a focus to provide a more consistent car feel and less tyre overheating over a run. The design moves the flex to the bulkhead areas which results in a car that rotates faster and harder all while maintaining a higher level of grip. Additionally the chassis has been made completely symmetrical so that the left to right flex of the car can be equalised as much as possible.
