Serpent have announced the release of this carbon conversion set for their Serpent S400 electric touring car. Enabling a great performance advantage on carpet, combined with the use of foam tyres, the set features a machined 3.4mm thick carbon fibre 6-cell chassis plate, which is extremely stiff and perfect for these high grip conditions. A great feature of this chassis plate is that along with the recessed mounting points, to lower the overall centre-of-gravity, the cell slots have be pre machined so no extra preparation in this area is needed. Also included in the set is stiff, front and rear, upper plates that also sport extensions that enable you to further stiffen the chassis by mounting the 4 supplied aluminium posts to both the upper and lower plates.

Xray XB8 Active Differential

Xray have released their Active Differential, which is a high-performance, adjustable front gear differential for XB8 buggies that vastly improved the buggy’s speed and handling characteristics. The special design of the internal components, using different angled segments, allows the diff gears to engage on-power to increase the forward traction and stability to the buggy, making it faster and easier to drive. While the Xray Active Differential is a performance option for serious racers who want to gain an edge on superior speed and handling, it is also of great benefit to any level of driver that wants to a more predictable and easy-to-drive car in any racing conditions.

Serpent Centax-3 one piece pinions

New for the Serpent Centax 3 clutch are these one-piece 2-speed pinions. Made from steel, instead of the standard coated aluminium, they are much stronger than the previous versions as well as more durable, having a better resistance to wear from grit and sand picked up on the track. The 2 pinions are now combined in one piece of metal, instead of 2 separate gears that are screwed together, and this now simply screws to the clutch bell for a very secure and true clutch assembly.
