Serpent Spyder SRX2 Gen3 2WD buggy kit Posted: 09 Oct 2019 08:12 AM PDT Following a first teaser Serpent have lifted the curtain and present their all-new Spyder SRX2 Gen3 1/10th scale 2WD buggy kit. According to Serpent, who listened to feedback from racers, the new SRX2 needed to be slimmer, more stylish, tougher, easier to work on and above all faster. The result is the Gen3 whose updated chassis provides optimal flex characteristics and has pockets to add weight throughout to fine-tune weight distribution. An updated geometry front and rear based on the latest innovations plus lots of adjustability will guarantee racers can find the perfect setup easily while providing room to adapt to future trends. Finally, the improved drivetrain is stronger, freer and easier to work on. The kit will hit stores mid-October.

Leadfinger Racing MBX8 A2.1 buggy body shell Posted: 09 Oct 2019 07:06 AM PDT Coming for the Mugen MBX8 and MBX8 Eco buggies is Leadfinger Racing’s new A2.1 buggy body shell. The A2.1 body and front scoop for the MBX8 is a one off design from the original LFR Assassin body. The new A2.1 not only delivers an updated new look and tuning option, but is also designed to work with and fit the popular MBX8 Eco electric buggy. Three changes in total have been made to the new design. First is the addition of the cowl scoops on the side pods. Depending on the performance the racer os looking for, these can be left alone to add to the overall down force of the car, or they can be drilled out for additional cooling. New for LFR is the addition of the roof fin. The advantage is more stability in high speed sections of the track, giving the buggy a better and more precise feel throughout the car. The final upgrade is the addition of down force added to both of the rear side pods. This helps to keep the car planted and provide more level jumping. With the new A2.1 design from LFR, racers now have an option to better suit their tuning needs for a variety of track surfaces. The body is available in both lightweight or standard thickness’, including window masks and stickers.
