New from RDRP are these aluminium front and rear shock towers designed for the B74 4WD off-road buggy. They match the standard kit geometry but are of a heavy duty design for durability and stability, increasing suspension efficiency and precision also thanks to the high-quality aluminium material they are machined off. As they match the stock dimensions they are a direct replacement with no setup changes needed when swapping parts over. In addition the high amount of machining, including silver chamfered edges, makes for a visually pleasing appearance while keeping the parts’ weight low. Both the front and rear tower come black anodised for looks and surface protection.

Serpent have introduced a new optional rear differential housing made for the European Championship winning Natrix 750 platform. The housing and pulley has been cast from ‘Arrowspace Magnesium’. Claiming to have constructed the perfect metallurgy recipe to ensure the best solution for weight to strength ratio, the use of ‘Arrowspace Magnesium’ creates a much stiffer housing resulting in a much more consistent diff along with less twisting or torque loss through the drive train. This housing actually weighs less than the standard plastic part and is compatible with the standard internal diff parts.
