Pemberton RaceWorks Slash adjustable rear arms

Pemberton RaceWorks have announced the release of their The Final Answer Traxxas Slash Edition adjustable rear arms. These arms share a design as used in the 10th scale dirt oval world, and this very same technology is now available for the ever popular Traxxas Slash platform. The product offers a great amount of track side adjustability and allow for up to 12 degrees of rear toe adjustment (+6 degrees to -6 degrees) while also allowing to access track width adjustment. The arms sport two sliding rails that are captured in the arm’s front and rear pockets. The rails can be individually positioned at various lengths creating toe-in and/or toe-out at the outer hinge pin position. Advantages of the design include no change in wheelbase while adding toe settings, and toe positioning will not move as a result of a crash or brushing the wall. Built from nearly indestructible Nylon 6-6 and aluminium, these arms are also ultra-strong and applications include dirt oval, offroad, and drag racing. The set includes arms, rails, screws, pivot balls, shims and Lunsford Titanium inner and outer hinge pins.

Xray X12’20 – EU & US editions

Xray have announced the release of the follow up to their World Championship winning 1/12th scale chassis, the X12’20. Available in two different versions, dubbed the EU and US versions, the latter featuring aluminium in place of much of the carbon for super high traction conditions found stateside. The new car sports a new backbone with a redesigned narrower chassis plate, which minimises contact with the track surface during cornering. This redesign has meant the Slovakian manufacturer has had to design their all-new side link mounting system via aluminium and graphite holders. Other changes include the removable front suspension brace that allows steering response adjustment while updated centre shock absorber holders update the mounting positions and geometry to improve on-power steering. Up front the new servo holders have extra mounting positions for smaller servos, while the kit comes supplied with graphite composite front upper arms to increase steering response. A lighter pod brace holder from graphite composite material helps increase consistency and to resist flexing and the new graphite backstop for the battery pack allows for multiple mounting positions for the battery in the cross-chassis alignment.

Serpent 750 optional rear diff housing

Serpent have introduced a new optional rear differential housing made for the European Championship winning Natrix 750 platform. The housing and pulley has been cast from ‘Arrowspace Magnesium’. Claiming to have constructed the perfect metallurgy recipe to ensure the best solution for weight to strength ratio, the use of ‘Arrowspace Magnesium’ creates a much stiffer housing resulting in a much more consistent diff along with less twisting or torque loss through the drive train. This housing actually weighs less than the standard plastic part and is compatible with the standard internal diff parts.
