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.

Starting with the turnbuckles, available now are a hybrid aluminium and titanium turnbuckle kit that is made up using titanium links and aluminium hex segments. The parts offer a lower weight compared to the standard spring steel links and they also add visual impact thanks to their orange anodised alloy hexes. Also new are a set of 64-grade all-titanium links, a 137-piece set of 64-grade UFO head titanium screws for the WC edition kit and also a 145-piece set of gold-plated steel screws, again for the WC kit.
Coming from Serpent are updated diff internals for the Eryx 411 touring car. Already used in the company’s all-new Project 4-X tourer, the redesigned gears make for a significantly smoother diff action, resulting in improved overall performance. The composite gears are available separately as a 6-piece set to update existing units and they are also included in the V3 gear differential kit.
