Serpent 747-E electric upgrade set

Serpent introduce the 747-E electric upgrade kit for the 747 200mm nitro car. Included is all necessary hardware to convert the nitro-powered 747 into a whisper-silent 200mm touring car. The set contains a carbon fibre main chassis and top deck, an aluminium motor mount assembly, new belt pulleys and shafts, battery mounts, ball races and hardware. The converted car can be used with a conventional 2S touring car motor and speedo setup but higher power 3S batteries, a suitable 4-pole motor and a strong 1/8th scale speed controller are recommended in order to reach speeds above 90km/h. Beside the conversion kit Serpent will release a complete 747-E kit by the end of January 2014.

JConcepts B4 carbon front shock tower

JConcepts has produced a carbon fibre front shock tower for the popular Team Associated B4 line of vehicles. The 4mm thick material is durable, lightweight and features the camber link position mounted in a horizontal position relative to the kick-plane. There are 3 inner positions and 3 outer positions for quick and steady adjustments and the tower features the JConcepts treatment of a milled surface creating the ribbing effect to increase durability where needed. Eliminating the outer shock position gives the vehicle a more nimble look in the front-end while still maintaining the 2 most popular positions.

RPM Traxxas Summit front A-arms

RPM soon have dedicated front A-arms for the Traxxas Summit truck available. RPM’s front right A-arms for the Traxxas Revo are already compatible with the Summit but due to the extended T-Lock differential on the left side, the Revo front left A-arms would not fit. That is no longer an issue with these A-arms that feature a revamped cross-brace to clear the T-Lock differential. The arms are moulded from a virtually indestructible blend of high-grade nylons and they come in standard black or blue colour.

Sylveris RC EB48/NB48 alloy wheel axles

Sylveris RC is a new after market company from France and the first products to appear are front and rear aluminium driveshaft axles for the Tekno EB48/48.2 and NB48 line of vehicles. The shafts are machined from 7075-T6 aluminium, come hard-anodised and they are made to replace the standard steel axles with a lightweight yet durable solution. Using the alloy parts scrubs about 20 gram of rotation mass and unsprung weight from the buggy making for quicker acceleration and better braking action.
