Lightweight Stiffening Plate for 1/10 Models

Targeted at drivers seeking cleaner feel, the Serpent 401563 Carbon Topdeck is manufactured in 1.75mm carbon fiber to add rigidity to compatible 1/10 scale chassis without adding excessive weight.

Handling Improvements Explained

By limiting chassis twist, the Serpent 401563 helps maintain tyre contact and improves steering predictability during acceleration and corner exits, making set up changes easier to evaluate.

Compatibility Tips Before You Fit

Fit varies between chassis, so verify screw spacing and body clearance. Minor trimming or different spacers may be required to achieve an optimal, rattle-free installation.

Does the Serpent 401563 add noticeable weight to the car?

A 1.75mm carbon plate is light for the stiffness it provides, so weight gain is small compared with the handling benefits; overall balance may shift slightly forward or rear depending on your chassis layout.

What running surfaces benefit most from this topdeck?

Surfaces with medium to high grip show the biggest handling gains, as reduced chassis flex translates directly to sharper steering and steadier responses.

Should I change spring or shock settings after fitting?

You may need to soften springs or adjust ride height slightly to compensate for the increased chassis stiffness; small incremental changes help you find the new balance.

Is special care required for carbon surfaces?

Wipe with a soft cloth and mild cleaner to remove grit after running; avoid aggressive solvents that could affect bonded areas or printed markings.
