SpeedMerchant Linear Tweak spring conversion
Categories - Accessories, Products, SpeedMerchant
SpeedMerchant have announced the release of their Linear Tweak spring conversion. After months of testing, moving from the Rev.5 to the new Rev.6, they’ve found that the lighter & quicker Single Cell LiPo cars perform much better with Linear side springs compared to the standard ‘progressive’ side springs that have been run for years. These new springs tend to smooth the cars out, and generally just make it easier to drive, without a loss of steering or chassis response.

Serpent 733 DLS system
Categories - Accessories, Products, Serpent
As seen in our World Championship coverage, Serpent have released the full details on their new DLS system for the 733. The Direct Link system is activated during cornering mainly, whereby the outer suspension forces are transferred partially to the inner wheel too, with a pivot-link system. The results is more rubber on the track, more traction and more even tyre wear, resulting in significantly faster and easier cornering and possibly better laptimes. Set to be made available in 1 month.
