Serpent SER402191 Precision Aluminium Plate for Medius X26 Chassis  [SER402191]

X26 Replacement: Aluminium Chassis Plate

This aluminium chassis from Serpent (SER402191) is an RC-scale component designed to serve as a direct replacement or upgrade within the X26 chassis family. The text below focuses on fitment considerations, installation notes, and how the part affects chassis behavior during setup and tuning.

Compatibility is limited to the Medius X26 line referenced as SER400052 in Serpent’s parts list, use this model code to confirm fit before purchase. Because chassis geometry and mounting points are critical, confirm screw hole alignment and battery tray clearance on your specific X26 variant prior to installation.

Installation is straightforward for users familiar with chassis swaps: remove existing lower plate hardware, transfer any required inserts or standoffs, and secure the new plate using the original fasteners. No additional fabrication should be necessary when compatible model numbers match, however verify torque on screws to avoid striping aluminium threads.

From a tuning standpoint, the aluminium plate alters flex and weight distribution compared with plastic or composite originals. Expect increased lateral stiffness and a firmer initial feel; this can improve predictability on high-grip surfaces but may reduce mechanical traction in low-grip conditions. Use shock valving and roll-center adjustments to rebalance chassis response after fitting the aluminium plate.
