This Serpent chassis is engineered to bring consistent lap times and reliable durability to club and regional racing. The design focuses on a stiff, lightweight layout that supports precise setup changes and repeatable handling on asphalt and carpet circuits.
The mainplate is machined from 5mm 7075 aerospace-grade aluminum to balance rigidity and weight. The layout includes a wide front opening for easy anti-roll bar indexing and a cooling slot under the engine to help manage temperatures during extended runs, while maintaining useful ground clearance for aggressive line choices.
The brake system uses spring-loaded plates that run on polished steel shafts and are actuated by a ball-raced cam to deliver even pad pressure. With the assembly positioned low on the car, the centre of gravity is reduced to help with stability under heavy braking and mid-corner transitions.
Independent double wishbones allow detailed tuning of camber, caster and toe settings to suit different tracks. The shock absorbers feature a self-bleeding mechanism and improved sealing for steady damping and consistent performance through a race program.
Adjustability is a strong point, with options for changing wheelbase, track width and roll centre to suit varying grip levels. These settings let drivers dial in the chassis for everything from tight technical layouts to faster sweeping tracks.
This chassis suits experienced builders and racers looking for a versatile, tuneable 1/8 nitro touring platform with race-proven materials and adjustability.
