Race-Proven Craftsmanship: Serpent SER420003 S240 '21 Overview
For on-road racers seeking a nimble, tuneable platform, the Serpent SER420003 S240 '21 pan car blends lightweight construction with detailed engineering. This kit was conceived for drivers who value precise setup and consistent lap times on carpet or asphalt.
Carbon Chassis and Alloy Components Working Together
The car rides on a 1.5mm carbon fiber chassis that balances stiffness and flex to respond to track changes. Up front, carbon and aluminum parts pivot on soft silicone grommets to deliver predictable front-end bite, while adjustable toe settings and anodized track rods let you refine steering feel for different conditions.
Refined Steering Layout and Front Protection
Machined aluminum steering blocks with nylon inserts are mounted with carbon brackets for low friction and repeatable geometry. A sturdy nylon front bumper plus anodized body posts protect the shell, and the lay-down micro-servo bay (30x30mm, servo not included) allows neat electronic placement for competitive setups.
Flexible Powertrain and True Rear Wheel Alignment
The rear mounts accept an adjustable motor plate so you can change gear ratios quickly for tuning. A ball-raced differential with steel balls runs with the standard 42T spur and 10T pinion to give a predictable power delivery, and machined aluminum rear wheel adaptors keep the rear wheels running very true under power.
Lightweight GTP Shell and Race Stance
The included 0.5mm GTP-style clear body is built for aero efficiency and low weight. Mounted on closed dished wheels with foam racing tyres, the body and wheel combo give a low, aggressive stance that helps with high-speed cornering stability.
