Serpent East 200mm Civic body
Serpent is pleased to introduce the Serpent East Civic 1/10th 200mm body. This new Serpent East Civic body sports 2 ribs on either side of the car to increase stiffness to this area while at the same time allowing the shell to be made from very lightweight materials. Other details include ribs on the bonnet that channel the air over the lowered windscreen and back to the rear wing. The Serpent East Civic, which has been extensively tested by Central RC, provides the user with very responsive, high grip and well-balanced handling characteristics.

Complete carbon conversion set for the S400
The complete carbon conversion chassis set for the Serpent S400 electric touring car has just been released by Serpent Model Racing Cars. The S400 carbon conversion is made from a 3.4mm carbon fiber stiff 6-cell chassis plate. The new carbon fiber chassis also features recessed mounting points as well as the battery cell slots have been pre-machined to help lower the center of gravity.
Serpent brass battery holder
Serpent Racing has just created two new brass battery holders for the Serpent 720 and Serpent 960 chassis’. The new Serpent brass battery holders are a direct replacement for the original stock plastic battery holders, the Serpent brass battery holders have been machined from a single piece of brass. The advantage of using the new Serpent 720 and Serpent 960 brass battery holders brings more weight to the lowest part of the car and thus helps prevent the car from grip rolling in high traction condition which then allows your Serpent car to corner as higher speeds.

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.
