Serpent Viper 989 40th Anniversary kit

Coming from Serpent is their new Viper 989 40th Anniversary 1/8th nitro on-road kit. The car is issued to celebrate Serpent’s 40th Anniversary and it builds on the proven Viper 989, however it includes many of the parts the team used at the 2019 IFMAR World Championship in California. The base of the car is an ultra-narrow main chassis that offers improved flex characteristics with the main plate being milled down in less load-stressed areas to make it as light as possible while still retaining stiffness in areas needed. The chassis can be loaded with optional balance weights who are attached using a rubber-damped carbon weight bridge that reduces vibrations. On top of this Serpent have incorporated the possibility to add a sliding weight right in the front, also mounted on a carbon bridge. It helps a great deal in avoiding traction rolling and in order to fine-tune the handling of the car.

RC Maker A800MMX brass & carbon AFEP

Coming from RC Maker and made for the Awesomatix A800MMX touring car are two adjustable floating electronics plate sets. They were designed to placing the weight down low, in the best position, whilst having absolutely no impact on the flex of the car. With both brass and carbon options, as well as an even heavier brass plate option, drivers have all the tuning options they could ever want to achieve the desired balance. The AFEP system can also be shimmed out from the motor-mount to further increase the tuning adjustability. The standard brass set will weigh in at 23g with the optional 25g plate making it 35g in total. As for the carbon fibre variant, it will weigh in at 12g. Both also allow the easy removal of the electronics plate from the car for maintenance and cleaning purposes.
