Serpent S400 Alu C-Hubs

Serpent have introduced a new range of aluminium C-hubs in a variety of different caster angles. These new hubs are extremely stiff and this helps reduce any flex in the steering, something very useful when running on carpet and other high grip surfaces. Another benefit of these new items is that due to the material used it has allowed them to be narrower than the standard versions and this in turn allows more steering throw, something that is important on very tight tracks. Machined from a single piece of aluminium they are also lightweight and resistant to heavy impacts.

Serpent soft Anti-roll bar blades

Serpent have released these thin and therefore super soft rear anti-roll bar blades for their entire range of cars. These new blades have a similar hard setting to the original versions but in the softest setting they are much softer and overall they allow a wider range of settings. While suitable for all cars in the range that use the adjustable rear anti-roll bar, the softer blades are specifically designed to offset the new wider and thus harder lower wishbone anti roll bar mounting points on the 960.
