Serpent Cobra diff internal gear-sets & tire bands

Serpent have released a new internal gear-set that fits all Serpent Cobra gear differentials. An improved gearmesh / tooth-shape creates an even smoother diff-action than before and testing so far has showed that when using the new gears you need to use at least 2000 cst heavier oil than before. This will make the diffs run more consistent, also during those long finals. Serpent have also released these strong orange tire bands for gluing of 1/8 buggy and truggy tires. Strong, durable, flexible rubber bands, with strong tabs for extra grip they come in a pack of 4.
