Reckward-Tuning SRX8 carbon fibre mud guards

RMV Deutschland have introduced the new Reckward-Tuning carbon fibre mud guards for the Serpent SRX8 series of buggies. The parts are moulded from high-quality carbon fibre for a low weight yet greater durability compared to polycarbonate mud guards. The parts attach to the rear lower A-arms and help to keep dust, dirt, mud and moisture away from the rear arms, driveshafts and lower shock parts which results in less dirt and weight build-up over the run. The mud guards come in sets of two and they are a direct fit on the SRX8 and SRX8E.

PSM B6.1 O-ring retained battery positioning system

Coming from PSM and made for the Team Associated B6.1 2WD buggy is an O-ring retained battery positioning system. The assembly, that is also usable on the B6, consists of two carbon fibre brackets that securely grab the shorty pack while two O-rings ensure the battery stays in place even when the going gets tough while also allowing for super-fast battery swaps. The battery can be mounted in a forward or rearward position and due to having very little influence on chassis twist, the system is recommended for 17.5T stock classes as the higher speeds of modified motors can make the buggy a bit twitchy due to increased chassis flex.
