Team Grid Shock Shaft Tool

Team Grid releases the ultimate tool for easy installation of shock rod end balls to shock shafts. The Team Grid Shock Shaft Tool makes it effortless to assemble hundreds of shock shafts without ever having to squeeze a pair of pliers. The Team Grid Shock Shaft Tool uses a clamping design, so that once it is clamped down on the shock shaft, it wont let go until you are ready to release it. Incorporating 3, 3.5 and 4mm holes, this tool will accommodate almost all of today’s shock shafts, especially the 4mm shock shafts which are the toughest to install ball ends as most builders already know. CNC machined from USA Grade aluminium and anodized for durability.

Serpent Cobra-B Team edition

Serpent have released a Team Edition version of their S811 Cobra buggy. The new kit include the pro-version 5.5mm machined aluminium shock towers in 7075-T6 alumnium front and rear and hard coated shock-caps front and rear. The use of larger, stronger bearings on all 4 corners of the car makes the Cobra even more reliable combined with new spring-steel wheel-axles. The new V3 diff-coupler and pinion system with 2 larger bearings also improves reliability a lot. The lower rear wing, as already in use on the E-Cobra is now also fitted to the GP Buggy. Finally the machined lowered pockets of the chassis plate have been revised to reduce flex, creating a stiffer / stronger chassis.
