New for the shorter-length shocks of the Xray T2 family of 1/10th scale electric touring sedans, Xray presents the ultimate high-performance racing springs that have been specially developed for rubber-tire racing, giving better balance and an additional range of choices to fine-tune your car. Developed through extensive testing and racing experience, these linear springs are shorter and have a larger internal diameter. The same thickness of wire is used for each spring, and stiffness is controlled by the number of coils.

Serpent Fuel tanks & Shaped tank seal

Serpent have introduced a new seal for their AFL fuel tank lid that prevents leakage and thus provides more consistent engine performance. Made from rubber, the new seal has been shaped to create a perfect seal around the opening of the tank and allowing the tank lid to close fully. Both the 1/8th and 1/10th scale fuel tanks have also been updated, to both include the new lid seal but also have been made from a newer stronger material. The milky white coloured tanks will now have more resistance to shattering in the event of a heavy impact and changes to the lid pivot pin position further ensure a perfectly sealed tank. Both new tanks come supplied with a 50cm length of clear fuel tubing, as well as fuel nipples and grub screw for AFL lid.
