Serpent 750 optional rear diff housing

Serpent have introduced a new optional rear differential housing made for the European Championship winning Natrix 750 platform. The housing and pulley has been cast from ‘Arrowspace Magnesium’. Claiming to have constructed the perfect metallurgy recipe to ensure the best solution for weight to strength ratio, the use of ‘Arrowspace Magnesium’ creates a much stiffer housing resulting in a much more consistent diff along with less twisting or torque loss through the drive train. This housing actually weighs less than the standard plastic part and is compatible with the standard internal diff parts.

Bezerk RC Pro 10 Winter Series Rd2 – Report

The second round of the Bezerk RC Pro 10 Winter Series was held at England Park Raceway, Brisbane, Australia this weekend. The full long track layout was used for the event and a good field of Pro 10’s turned up to compete. After three rounds of qualifying Shannon Overson’s Bezerk Litesabre secured TQ with Clayton Hughes (Litesabre) second and Scott Tapsall’s (Xray X10W) filling out the top three. Clayton Hughes set the fastest lap time of the night in round three of qualifying with a 14.606 second lap. Heading into the third final it was one win each between Clayton and Shannon. Unfortunately in the decider Clayton’s Bezerk Litesabre had a mechanical failure while leading which handed the race and round win over to Shannon. Clayton secured second place for the round with Terry Norman finishing an impressive third place with his new 73RC chassis. All in all it was a fantastic night of super fast competitive racing with some very sportsmanship behaviour shown in the finals. The third and final round will be held on the 21st of September.

Thanks to Shannon Overson for the report.

XactRC 3-box set for Ogio 9800

Presenting XactRC, a new company from Robert Morris (KO & Ulti America) and Danny Stojakovic (WCRC) with a focus on making life easier for the RC racer and RC traveler, without breaking the bank. The first project which took 6 months to develop is this ‘3 Box Set’ for the Ogio Rig 9800 series bag. Designed to fit and provide the maximum use of space for organized travel, they have been made from heavy duty 3mm corrugated plastic. The box structure offers durability at the lightest weight possible and each box also includes handles for easy removal and loading into your bag. The smaller box (12x8x3in) sits in between the wheel carrier covers and sit practically flush with them once installed, while the two larger boxes (15x9x6in/ea) give you the most room to organize and place your RC equipment. Utilizing the full width of the bag just before the taper, and to the depth up to the zipper line, there is still room above the zipper line to store your smaller/softer items between the boxes and the bag cover.
