Serpent rear nylon body support

Serpent have released this new nylon body support for the rear side of their 1/10 scale cars. Its made for 747 / 733, but will also fit the 411, and most other 1/10 EP and GP cars in the market. It prevents the body from folding inside when another car hits you from behind and also keeps the body better positioned and stable on the rear of the car. The set includes enough spacers to create the right length for most commonly used bodies and the height of the carriers is fully adjustable with applied M4x16 grub screw. The Serpent 747 will have mounting holes, but for other cars you will need to drill the holes as needed to mount it to the shock tower.
