Tighter Steering for Retro RCs

The Serpent 401471 Aluminium Steering Rack is a practical upgrade for older models needing cleaner steering feedback. Built from aluminium to resist everyday wear, it sharpens handling without adding excessive weight.

Why Aluminium Beats Plastic for Steering

Aluminium offers a firmer platform that reduces play in steering systems so inputs feel more precise. Using the Serpent 401471 steering rack cuts down on unwanted flex and keeps steering geometry stable under load.

Installation and Compatibility Notes

Designed around Serpent Vintage Series mounting points, this rack usually bolts in with factory linkages. Check fitment on mixed marque restorations, as some chassis may require minor adjustments.

Yes, replacing a plastic rack with this aluminium unit usually results in crisper steering and more consistent turn-in, especially on worn or loose original parts.
It is made for the Serpent Vintage Series and will fit most of those models without modification. For non-Serpent chassis, measure mounting points before committing.
Use a quality hobby servo with adequate torque for your vehicle size. A mid to high torque unit will help maintain precise steering under load.
Keep the rack clean and dry after wet runs, and wipe away salt or grime. Regular inspection and light lubrication will prolong service life.
