Serpent have new option parts for the SRX range of 1/10th off-road buggies available in the form of an aluminium 51T ball differential gear and a 1.7mm rear anti-roll bar. Starting with the diff gear, the part is machined from high-quality 7075-T6 aluminium and it comes hard-anodised to make for a low-wear surface. It improves durability when running low-turn modified motors by replacing the standard composite gear. Also new is the 1.7mm rear anti-roll bar wire. The thickest yet, the anti-roll bar is best used on very high-bite surfaces in order to limit chassis roll in corners.
AKA have released a first image of the forthcoming Crosslink 2.2 buggy tyre. The Crosslink shares the same carcass design as the Chainlink 2.2 and also some of the key bar design in the Chainlink, however the Crosslink is not as dense of a tread design as the Chainlink which allows it to work slightly better when the tracks are dustier. Also with the tread being more exposed this speeds up the break-in process which is necessary for optimum performance. The tyre is scheduled for a February release.
