Carbon Chassis Offering Reduced Mass and Better Balance

The Serpent 401715 Lightweight Carbon Chassis was developed for the Project 4X series to lower overall mass from 61 grams to 46 grams, improving agility on twisty tracks. The drop in weight helps the car respond faster to driver inputs.

Added Flex for Improved Grip

This version favours slightly more controlled chassis flex, which can smooth weight transfer and increase mechanical grip in both indoor club layouts and varied outdoor surfaces. The carbon material provides resilience while enabling the desired compliance.

Track-Level Advantages Explained

Fitting the lightweight chassis can yield quicker direction changes and better mid-corner balance, making it useful for courses with a lot of direction changes or complex sections.
