Serpent Medius X20 21 carbon

Serpent have released details on their new Medius X20 ’21 190mm EP touring car. Learning from the X20 they have improved some handling characteristics to make the car more nimble and improve corner speed. Stiffening of the chassis in critical areas to change the flex points along with tweaking the roll centre has led to improved speed. A refreshed drivetrain gives more acceleration and better torque delivery with the all new ball raced driveshaft system. An innovative new steering hub allows a multitude of setup combinations, including an industry first axle offset option. The new X20’21 is lighter, faster and more adjustable.

Rebellion RC MMX topdeck option

Rebellion RC now offer two more top deck options for the Awesomatix MMX, a single and two-piece version. Both are very similar in design, wrapping around the spur gear, with the single piece best suited for high to very high traction, while the two piece top deck helps improve front end in-corner steering depending on which screws you use. All bulkhead-holes are 3,1mm to improve flex and reduce tweak, and both are available in 1.5mm or 2mm thick carbon.
