For more torsional flex, a short stiffener is available which basically acts as a connecting point for the servo mount and the front topdeck stiffener. It can only be used in combination with a topdeck, either the new double vertical topdeck or the standard flat topdeck. It also saves a considerable amount of weight. The short stiffener is of course compatible with the new topdeck stiffeners, however a 4mm shim is used between the rear topdeck stiffener and the motormount in this case.

The narrow carbon bumper plate is introduced as depending on the body in use the bodyholes may otherwise just end up in the curve of the hood. This one is narrower and puts the mounts more inside to the center.

Cobra SRX8-E saddle pack carbon battery plates

Serpent introduces the 2mm thick carbon fibre battery holder plates for the Cobra SRX8-E buggy in optional saddle pack layout.

The carbon plates can be used instead of the touch type batterystrap. Very easy to use, light strong, and also adds some extra stiffness to this section.

The composite battery-trays for the saddle pack version already have the mounting holes for the small posts which are supplied together with the set. Small bodyclips are included as well.
