Kyosho Inferno MP777 WC
Based on the Kyosho MP777 SP2, the new Kyosho Inferno MP777 WC (World Champion) Edition will include many of the option parts develop over the last year in anticipation of the World Championship race. Each of the upgraded parts makes incremental improvements to what is already the most successful line of competition nitro off-road racers in the history of RC racing.
Using the Kyosho 777 SP2 as the foundation of the Kyosho Inferno MP777 WC Team Edition means the SP2 will benefit from all the parts developed for the WC Edition. In fact, many of the parts that will be included in the Kyosho Inferno MP777 WC Team Edition kit are already available as option parts for the Kyosho SP2. So if you’re in the market for a new buggy and you want the best-equipped model available, the Kyosho Inferno MP777 WC Team Edition is the clear choice. The total retail cost of the additional factory performance parts that are now standard in the Kyosho Inferno MP777 WC Team Edition total more than $290, but the street price will only increase by $10 over the Kyosho SP2! That’s $280 worth of extra value for FREE! Current SP2 owners can also upgrade with available option parts.

Serpent 960FD Edition
To commemorate Fabio Domanins commanding win at this years 1/8th scale European Championships in Sweden, Serpent have released this FD edition of the title winning Serpent 960. The Serpent 960FD is a feature-laden kit that comes complete with harder rear wishbones and front bearing blocks for better impact resistance and a number or optional parts as standard.
Serpent 960 FD Features:
Side plate T2 with alu insert set: Featuring a revised carbon plate design, it now works in conjunction with the supplied aluminium insert to eliminate flex in the gearbox shaft. The aluminium insert fits in the space where the original larger 2-speed shaft bearing sits and becomes the mount for the now smaller supplied bearing. This insert is in turn kept in place by the carbon side plate which, as well as performing its primary function, now works to prevent any flex from occurring in the 2-speed shaft too.

Serpent teflon brake pads
Serpent has released teflon brake pads for your serpent chassis! Coming in a set of that includes 2 left and 2 right teflon brake pads. The Serpent teflon brake pads are attached to the steel brake plates (#901365) that come with the latest Serpent chassis’ as standard.
The benefit of these Teflon pads over the original version brake pads is that teflon brake pads provide better and smoother braking power without locking up the brake shaft. This all ensures more consistent braking and allows the racer to be able to brake later and deeper into a corner.
*IMPORTANT* Mounting Information
Due to the material used, mounting the Serpent teflon brake pads require more care and different techniques.
- Degrease and then roughen the appropriate side of the steel brake plates using sand paper or similar.
- Apply Impact adhesive (preferable heat resistant) to both pads (darker side) and plates on the correct sides.
- Wait the required amount of time for the glue to harden (read the instructions of the glue)
- Introduce the pads and plates to each other and press together as hard as possible (use of a bench vice is recommended).
After use be sure to check regularly to see if the pads and plates are still together.
