Serpent SRX2 optional A-arms & MH wing mounts

Serpent have introduced a range of new A-arms for the SRX2 buggy. First up are new hard-compound front arms. Almost flex-free yet very durable the arms are best used in very high-grip conditions such as carpet, astro turf and prepped clay. Next up are updated rear arms for the SRX2 and also the SRX4. The new design allows to run the shock absorbers both in the front and the rear of the arm. The wishbones are available as standard and hard variant as well as longer variant for improved track width and the use on lower grip track, again available as standard and hard compound variant. The long wishbones need to be run with the optional longer rear driveshafts. Last but not least come the new shorter MH type SRX2 wing mounts that are usable with setups that utilise rear dampers that are mounted in front of the rear A-arm.

Kyosho MT-4WD Psycho Kruiser VE 1/8th monster truck

Kyosho have introduced the MT-4WD Psycho Kruiser VE 1/8th scale ReadySet monster truck. The vehicles is based on a low-profile 4WD 3-differential chassis comparable to the popular Inferno truggy and it is equipped with a 1500kv Team Orion Neon 7 brushless motor and a 6S LiPo-compatible brushless controller. A shock-resistant, hardened battery case protects the LiPo battery while big bore threaded aluminium shock absorbers, aluminium shock towers and front and rear anti-roll bars keep the truck on track despite the extreme power it is able to develop. The included Syncro KT-201 2.4GHz radio system offers a fail-safe function for the unlikely event of signal loss and the included KS-203 steering servo was taken over from the 1/7th scale Scorpion XXL to ensure steering authority when the going gets tough. The ready-to-run truck is rounded out by an aerodynamic bodyshell and grippy tyres on multi-spoke rims.

DMS 1/14th Trim2Tune foam tyre inserts

X-Factory UK have introduced the DMS Trim2Tune tyre inserts for 1/14th scale micro off-road cars. The idea behind the inserts was that micro racers were always requesting different width inserts to fine-tune the grip levels on their micro buggies to differing tracks. Unlike many other classes the ranges of inserts on offer were quite minimal, so options were greatly reduced. DMS’s open cell inserts come very specifically as 50mm wide as the most popular width in use is still 25mm and for those racers happy with this width, they can simply cut them straight down the middle. For those who wish to create their own width specific to their requirements, they can be trimmed with conventional scissors to any width desired. The inserts come as pair, allowing to cut at least four inserts from a pack and they are available in a soft, medium and firm variant.
