New for the Serpent S400 are these anodised aluminium CVD drive shafts. Super lightweight, they are 3 grams lighter than the steel versions, giving a saving of 12 grams when used throughout the car. This weight gain means reduced rotating mass, which translates into faster acceleration and top speeds. Sold in a set of 2, they are suitable for the front and rear of the car, but due to the current power being delivered by modern electronic equipment it is advised to use them only the rear, as when used on the front they may wear quicker than the standard steel versions.

Wishbone Short CRI (Carbon Fibre Insert) Front

Serpent is pleased to announce this innovative new product for the Serpent S400 190mm touring car. These new wishbones have made using a new process to fuse the plastic with plates of carbon fibre, which not only produces these really cool looking parts but also helps create a stiff and strong wishbone. Another great benefit of the carbon insert is that they are less resistant to softening in really hot conditions, meaning the cars handling remains consistent at all times. The front wishbones have also been shortened which helps improve reaction speeds and initial turn in, perfect for tighter tracks.

To help improve the durability of the Serpent S400 drive train, the kit will now be supplied with new improved belts. Made using Aramide, a stronger but stiffer material, these new belts are more resistant to the stresses of high grip surfaces and general use. A direct replacement for the current belts, these new belts will carry the same part numbers as the versions they replace: #401068 (177mm long) & #401069 (501mm long).
