RPM soon have dedicated front A-arms for the Traxxas Summit truck available. RPM’s front right A-arms for the Traxxas Revo are already compatible with the Summit but due to the extended T-Lock differential on the left side, the Revo front left A-arms would not fit. That is no longer an issue with these A-arms that feature a revamped cross-brace to clear the T-Lock differential. The arms are moulded from a virtually indestructible blend of high-grade nylons and they come in standard black or blue colour.

Sylveris RC is a new after market company from France and the first products to appear are front and rear aluminium driveshaft axles for the Tekno EB48/48.2 and NB48 line of vehicles. The shafts are machined from 7075-T6 aluminium, come hard-anodised and they are made to replace the standard steel axles with a lightweight yet durable solution. Using the alloy parts scrubs about 20 gram of rotation mass and unsprung weight from the buggy making for quicker acceleration and better braking action.

French Serpent distributor Racing Experience have made the first images of Serpent’s SRX2 Spyder mid motor buggy available. The MM version follows the rear motor RM version that is available for some time now and the kit targets drivers who race on high-grip carpet and astro turf surfaces. The buggy builds on what appears to be a composite material chassis, it sports the standard SRX2 front suspension but a dedicated rear end with 4-gear transmission and a revised rear bulkhead and shock tower. By the look of things the buggy accepts both saddle and shorty type battery packs and it comes with a cab forward body shell. More photos, information and the complete features and specification list should be available shortly.
