Another improvement has come from the new bumper. It is an aerodynamic improvement, but as the same time it gives more support to the bodyshell. It also is a lot more resistant to bending. All of that comes with a reduced weight by almost 10g!!!
The new front arms feature a carbon downstop lever which gives a much more accurate and consistent downstop setting, a very important part of the car’s setup.
It will be possible to put the battery underneath the fuel tank to improve the left-right weight balance.
The batteryplate is also available in brass, in case you need more weight to achieve the minimum weight.
The optional front weight bridge is now also mounted from the bottom to allow easy access to the weight. Also the front weight is now adjustable from the bottom.
There are 2 additional locations to put a small weight, just behind the servo-saver and in front of the engine.
The long durable front lower wishbones are the open-style arms similar to the 977. An aluminium shock mount plate is screwed onto the lower wishbone. This allows the shock attachment point to be placed further outwards improving shock motion. The front lower arms are mounted to the front brackets with nylon holders. The kit includes 2 versions: in and out. This system also enables quick and easy front drive shaft maintenance. Of course the 988 closed arms are usable as well
The 3 position inserts allow camber-change adjustments and are held in place by the anodized aluminium top brackets. Below the top brackets, spacers can be used to change their angle or height. Caster is adjusted with clips on the upper pivot pins. The same clips are also used on the lower pivot pins to change wheelbase.
The narrow solid rear axle in Serpent spring steel has a lightweight 9mm wide 48T pulley. Spring steel, CVD type, drive shafts connect the rear shaft to spring steel wheel-axles with aluminium quick-change levers. A very durable and long lasting drivetrain.
