This Serpent touring chassis focuses on providing a solid foundation for lap-to-lap consistency. It is built to accept detailed setup changes that experienced racers use to refine handling for a variety of circuit types.
The main chassis plate is 5mm 7075 aluminum, chosen for its mix of stiffness and lightness. The design incorporates a wide front aperture for anti-roll bar access and a vented slot below the engine to assist with heat control during long runs.
The brake assembly uses sliding spring-loaded plates on polished shafts and a ball-bearing cam to apply uniform pressure to the pads. Positioning the brake gear low reduces the centre of gravity and helps maintain composure under braking into tight corners.
Independent double wishbone geometry allows tuning of camber, caster and toe to match track specifics. The shock units are designed with self-bleeding action and enhanced seals for predictable damping across varying temperatures and laps.
The chassis offers a broad range of adjustments, including wheelbase and track width changes plus roll centre and camber rise tweaks, enabling drivers to adapt setup quickly for changing grip levels.
For racers who prioritise setup flexibility and build quality, this chassis provides a robust base for competitive 1/8 nitro touring performance.
