Tune Your 4-X with Serpent 401711 Purple C8.4 Springs

For pilots wanting crisper handling on the 4-X chassis, the Serpent 401711 Purple springs offer a reliable C8.4 rate. These springs are intended to give a firmer response that helps with steering accuracy and consistent feedback through corners. The purple colour also makes them easy to sort when changing setups trackside.

How C8.4 Affects Handling

The C8.4 stiffness gives a controlled feel that reduces excessive roll and improves rebound control, which helps drivers maintain traction during directional changes. This is useful when tuning for technical or flowing tracks.

Compatibility Notes

These Serpent 401711 springs are compatible with the 4-X chassis and are a good choice for racers replacing tired springs or searching for a firmer baseline setup. They suit club races and practice where consistent behaviour is needed lap after lap.

Mixing Spring Rates

Try combining the purple C8.4 with other Serpent rates to find the balance you want. Options like Spring White C4.4, Spring Yellow C4.9 or Spring Green C9.5 can be used to tailor front to rear balance depending on surface and driver preference.

On very rough outdoor tracks C8.4 may be on the firm side. You can soften rebound or use slightly softer springs to improve compliance over big bumps.
It's a good idea to review shock oil and pistons when changing spring rates, since spring stiffness interacts with oil viscosity and shock travel for overall damping.
Yes. They provide a stable starting point for both practice sessions and race events where consistent handling helps with lap time improvements.
