Serpent F110 aluminium & carbon options

Serpent introduce new option parts for the ETS winning F110 formula chassis. First up is an aluminium M-shaped front bulkhead. It is designed to replace the kit’s part with a more rigid solution to stiffen up the front end and to add a cool technical look. Also new is a wide front set that includes wider lower carbon fibre wishbones, longer turnbuckles and rod ends as well as mounting hardware and aluminium spacers. The set is made to bring the car to its maximum track width when racing foam tyre classes. The lower carbon fibre arms are also available separately as spares. All parts hit the stores by the time you read this.

Blacktarmac LSS on-road shock absorbers

Italian company Blacktarmac introduce the LSS shock absorbers for a wide range of nitro and electric on-road cars. LSS stands for Long Stroke Shock, a technology that allows the piston to work inside a window where it is away from the mechanical stops for better damping characteristics and virtually no rebound. The shocks feature 7075 hard-coated shock bodies, pistons that are fixed to the piston rods through a screw and the lower cartridge is equipped with a teflon bushing to improve precision and sealing characteristics. Included are also laser-etched spring preload nuts for fast and accurate settings, lightweight aluminium spring cups, as well as an assortment of pistons racing from 2, 3, 4 to 6 1.1mm holes. The shocks fit cars such as the Xray NT1 and RX8, Shepherd Velox V10 and V8, Capricorn C02 and C801, many Serpent 1/10 and 1/8h cars as well as the Mugen MTX5 and MRX5 and the Yokomo BD7.
