Serpent SRX2 MH 2mm carbon chassis

Serpent SRX2 MH 2mm carbon chassis

New from Serpent for the Spyder SRX2 MH is this optional 2mm carbon fibre chassis. The carbon chassis can replace the hard coated aluminium chassis, as the alu kick-up is separate from the main chassis and the carbon chassis fits without any further modifications. The standard side guards also fit right on and it works with all 4 transmissions. The carbon chassis is lighter and has more flex, which may help handling on higher traction surfaces.

Arrowmax continue to expand their line-up of LiPo Batteries and have just released their first graphene chemistry based LiPo battery, the low profile 5200mAh 65C 7.4V stick pack.

The benefit of this new chemistry means these LiPos have very low internal resistance which everyone is looking for while at the same time run a lot cooler under load, this in-turn gives you a feeling of higher power and capacity during high discharge-rate conditions, the perfect solution for professional and demanding racers.  Graphene LiPo batteries works on normal LiPo battery chargers with no additional adjustment is needed.
