New from CSO RC Racing products in Hong Kong is this carbon chassis plate for the Serpent 733 1/10th scale chassis. This CNC machined plate is made from high quality 3.5mm thick carbon fibre and while looking great, we can’t help but think that this goes away from the principle that it is better to keep the cars heavy parts as low as possible, by making this part so lightweight it would raise the centre of gravity.

We have touched on it a few times in the past, but now Serpent have finally released some information on their new S120 link car. Serpent pan-car developers Markus Mobers and Paul Ciccarello, both with over 20 years of pan car racing experience, created this new chassis assisted by Billy Easton and Michael Salven. Sharing the same front end with the original T-bar version of the S120, the main difference between the two cars is how the rear pod and main chassis are connected. This new version retains the innovative lateral damper but uses a conventional link system that features 2 spring loaded side bars. Other changes include the new rear motor pod, that has been changed from a single piece version to one that comprises of high quality machined aluminium brackets and top quality carbon fibre parts, bolted together to create an ultra stiff assembly which allows the brushless motor to be mounted in the optimal position for car balance.

Serpent have introduced 2 new types of promotional vinyl decal to show your brand allegiance. Both feature the same design but one is smaller (20x12cm) and is sold in a pair, while the other is larger (40x25cm) with both perfect for pit boxes, cases and other things you bring to the track. More importantly Serpent have also announced that they will release the first details of their new Billy Easton designed 1/8th scale buggy in the next 2 weeks as well as information concerning a new brushless powered 966 and the link version of the S120, which was used to win the first round of the European Pan series in Germany. We will of course bring you all the details as we get them.

New for the Serpent 733 1/10th scale 200mm chassis is this solid front axle. A combination of strong spring steel axle with an aluminium pulley flange, both the steel axle and the aluminium part have been lightened as much as possible. A nice tuning option, the same pulley from the front differential can also used for this spool.

Serpent have released this new top-engine mount bracket to allow the user to fit the latest version Sirio .12 engines into the 733 chassis. Due to the positioning of the holes of the Sirio engine-mount and the case shape being different, this special mount is needed. Made from top quality CNC machined aluminium, it has been engraved and anodised and is a direct replacement, with no other modifications needed.

New from Team Titan for the Serpent 966 are a number of machined aluminium items, including these pinions. Available in 3 versions, two first gears (15T & 16T) and one second gear (19T), all are hard coated, highly precise and durable with the first gears made from 7075 T5 aluminium, while the second gear is 7075 T6. Other new items include a 18T side belt pulley that claims to eliminate the main shaft play that’s evident in the original design. Finally there are lightweight wheel nuts for the car, which we saw in Lostallo, that are silver anodised, sport extra holes for weight savings and sport 2 o-rings on the thread to ensure it stays tight.
