Vertical Carbon Fibre Topdeck for Serpent 4X

To refine handling on your Serpent 4X Touring Car, the Serpent 401738 Vertical Topdeck Set provides a straightforward tuning path. It uses two vertical 2.5mm carbon fibre plates to influence chassis flex patterns and steering response.

Engineered Plates and Machined Adaptors

The system comprises two identical carbon fibre plates fastened to the front and rear suspension through machined aluminium adaptor plates. This arrangement encourages linear torsional flex while reducing unwanted longitudinal and torsional tweak, producing steadier handling.

Tuneable Setup for Different Tracks

The vertical topdeck can be fitted with the kit's aluminium centre stiffener or used on its own. Removing the H-shaped stiffener plate increases end-section flexibility, allowing you to adapt the car to slick or rough surfaces.

Will this change mid-corner behaviour?

Yes, the vertical plates moderate torsional disturbances and promote a more linear response through mid-corner, making throttle application more predictable.

Do I need special tools to fit the adaptors?

Basic hobby tools are sufficient: hex drivers and a small spanner to secure the machined aluminium adaptor plates. No specialised press work is required.

Can I tune handling without replacing other parts?

Yes. Adjusting the stiffener combination and plate mounting is often enough to change balance without swapping shocks or springs.

Is carbon fibre thickness critical here?

The set uses 2.5mm plates to deliver a specific flex characteristic. Thinner or thicker material would alter the flex curve and handling feel.
