Serpent Cobra SRX8-T nitro truck kit

Following a first teaser image Serpent have fully unveiled their all-new Cobra SRX8-T nitro truck kit. Based off of the SRX8 buggy and compared to its predecessor S811T, the truck variant features a new 3mm 7075-T6 aluminium chassis with matching side pods. The main plate features bent edges to increase strength in the centre of the chassis to prevent bending. The chassis has a tapered angle shape and increased width to improve stability as well as drivability. The SRX8-T also utilises the exclusive fixed engine/gear mesh found exclusively on the SRX line of vehicles. The solid mounting of the engine and diff is absolutely fool proof and owners can still adjust the gear ratio without the need to fiddle around with engine positions. With the choice of 13 and 14 tooth clutch bells, as well as 46, 47, and 48 tooth spur gears give maximum adjustability for every condition.

ZooRacing Gorilla 190mm FWD body shell

Following a first teaser image – that already created quite a stir – ZooRacing now fully unveil their new Gorilla touring car body shell for 190mm front-wheel drive touring cars. The Gorilla is ZooRacing’s latest 1/10th scale on-road body shell and their idea of a high-performance front-wheel drive body shell for this ever growing and very fun class. The goal was to create a stylish yet efficient body with advanced aerodynamics while still offering a somewhat scale look, that takes design cues from a famous Japanese hatchback car, while meeting with current FWD touring car body shell regulations. The Gorilla features a futuristic, compact design with a low roof line, wide wheel arches and a huge front splitter all of which add to very balanced downforce which is further helped by a large rear wing and integrated roof spoiler. The front of the body features a scale-looking grille section while the sculptured hood further adds to the visual appearance. The wheel arches sport moulded-on air guide plates for exceptional stability, not only aerodynamically but they also reinforce the fender sections to ensure long durability. The body is rounded out by sturdy wing mount posts that are part of the rear window.
