I think it’s just changing to dog bones from CVD’s which they also did on the 811 GT Car. More reliability and much easier maintenance. I think the Chassis is pretty much same just revised the engine mounting position slightly for better gear mesh.

Yes but these are not new. All have been available for sometime as options on the original SRX8. I've been running them for a while now. Now standard on the EVO kit. Kind of like they did with the SRX2-MH TEAM edition.

Thanks for clarifying!

Yes and also the plastic hubs instead of the alu ones. Regardless it's still going to be a great kit and it'll be great not having to buy all those bits as an option now especially the shock caps and alu towers!! That's like at least $200 of options now included in the kit.

I've been impressed wth Serpent's buggies ever since I got an 811 a few years ago. I think they really need a top driver to make their car shine.

Couldn't agree more. It's the same onroad too. Unfortunately serpent do not have the driver budget that companies like Xray have. If Serpent had a Bruno Coelho things would be very different!!
