Medius X26 Carbon Bumper Plate - Serpent 402182  [SER402182]

X26 Carbon Bumper Plate Overview

This Serpent 402182 bumper plate is an RC-scale carbon component intended for use with the X26 line, notably in Medius X26 chassis configurations. It serves as a lightweight structural element that positions and supports the front bumper area while contributing to impact load distribution during low-speed contacts common in track and club runs.

Material and fit: the part is made from carbon fibre to keep mass low while adding lateral stiffness at the front end of the car. Compatibility is defined by the X26 designation and related Medius X26 parts list, so confirm alignment with your chassis mounting points before fitting.

Installation and tuning role: installation uses the chassis' existing bumper mounting locations, replacing the original plate to change front-end response. In setup terms, the plate affects how force is transferred into the front bulkhead and can influence steering feedback and transient stability; runners typically treat it as part of a front-end stiffness tuning set alongside bumper, shock settings, and anti-roll adjustments.

Routine inspection for delamination or edge damage is recommended after crashes, and clean mounting surfaces ensure repeatable behaviour in tuning sessions.
