Serpent 905001 overview for precise on-road tuning

The Serpent 905001 is a refined electric touring car platform that balances precision engineering with practical adjustability. Built for hobbyists and club racers alike, this kit delivers clear setup options and sensible component placement so you can learn tuning and improve lap times without excessive complexity.

Setup and adjustability for variable track conditions

The Serpent 905001 lets you tailor the chassis to many track surfaces and layouts. Easy-to-change spur gearing, adjustable body mount heights and ride height shims let you dial in balance and traction quickly between practice runs.

Steering geometry and handling choices

Drawing on lessons from the 988, this car uses versatile steering blocks with trailing and leading settings for fine steering response. The adjustable upper arm mount supports long and short arm positions, helping you tune roll and turn-in behavior.

Belt tension and consistent power delivery

The belt system on the Serpent 905001 includes front and rear tensioners to maintain correct drive alignment and reduce slop. A servo saver with selectable Ackerman settings helps keep steering precise when you push through corners.

Battery fitment and configuration flexibility

The adjustable battery tray accepts a range of battery lengths and heights so you can choose runtime or weight bias as needed. That flexibility keeps the car competitive whether you favour longer runs or snappier handling.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/10
  • Power: Electric
  • Adjustability: Comprehensive tuning options for suspension, steering, and drivetrain

  • Compatibility: Accommodates a range of battery sizes

With its clear adjustment range and reliable layout, the Serpent 905001 is a solid choice for modelers who want a tunable electric touring car that responds predictably to setup changes.

Ride height is adjusted using the supplied shims and the adjustable body mount positions. Small increments make noticeable differences, so test one change at a time to see effects on grip and balance.
The interchangeable spur gear allows quick swaps for different track layouts. Start with moderate ratios suited to your motor and adjust for acceleration or top speed depending on corner density.
Yes, the adjustable battery mount supports a variety of pack sizes. You may need to alter strap positioning but no major chassis mods are required for common 1/10 battery lengths.
Regularly inspect belt tension and alignment, and use the front and rear tensioners to keep belts snug. Replace belts if they show fraying or excessive stretch to maintain consistent power transfer.
