Serpent soft Anti-roll bar blades

Serpent soft Anti-roll bar blades

Serpent have released these thin and therefore super soft rear anti-roll bar blades for their entire range of cars. These new blades have a similar hard setting to the original versions but in the softest setting they are much softer and overall they allow a wider range of settings. While suitable for all cars in the range that use the adjustable rear anti-roll bar, the softer blades are specifically designed to offset the new wider and thus harder lower wishbone anti roll bar mounting points on the 960.

Atomic Carbon B44 option parts

Atomic Carbon B44 option parts

Following on from the brief piece from oOple about the Atomic Carbon S2 in which we mentioned that a new 4wd buggy was spotted, comes the first teaser pictures of that car which has turned out to be an Associated B44 with new carbon fibre option parts from Atomic Carbon. Most notable is the beautiful moulded, and machined, carbon fibre tub chassis which sports a different battery layout and radio gear configuration than the original car and also that it no longer uses an upper chassis brace, probably due to the stiffness of the tub. More information to be released soon.
