Serpent 903010 Serpent 966-TE Team Edition 1/8 4WD Racing Chassis  [SER903010]

Precision Race Chassis: Serpent 966-TE Team Edition

The Serpent 966-TE builds on the strengths of the Serpent 960 to deliver a competition-focused 1/8 scale on-road chassis. This Team Edition is aimed at experienced racers who demand a strong, tunable platform with race-proven components and a focus on setup flexibility.

Race-Oriented Chassis Engineering

Central to the Serpent 966-TE is a 5mm 7075-T6 aluminum chassis that balances stiffness and durability for consistent lap times. The independent double wishbone suspension paired with RCC-X shock absorbers offers fine steering control and feedback. A split carbon radio plate with flex control gives racers an extra layer of setup adjustment when dialling in handling.

Key Components and Drive Layout

The chassis includes an SL8 lightweight 2-speed gearbox to reduce rotating mass and improve mid-range response. The Centax-II clutch system allows external gap adjustment for predictable engagement and long service life. Rear geometry provisions such as adjustable roll centers and camber rise let you adapt the setup to differing track surfaces.

Tuneability and Serviceability

The Serpent 966-TE is built for adjustability, with straightforward changes for camber, caster, toe-in, track width, and wheelbase to match driver style and track conditions. High quality bearings throughout the drivetrain ensure smooth power transfer, and the quick-release wheel system speeds up tyre changes during race days.

For club and national level racers seeking a platform that responds to detailed setup work, the Serpent 966-TE delivers a robust foundation with race-ready hardware and extensive tuning range.
