Lightweight Carbon Fibre Front Tower for SDX

The Serpent 500575 Carbon Front Shock Tower brings a race-oriented carbon fibre replacement to the SDX line, aimed at drivers who want cleaner steering and reduced unsprung weight. Its stiff construction helps the suspension react more consistently, making setup changes easier to dial in at the track.

Why Carbon Fibre Works Well Here

Carbon fibre combines low mass with high rigidity, which translates to more immediate feedback and less unwanted movement in hard cornering. Installing this tower on your SDX can improve front-end precision and support more aggressive tuning choices.

Installation Notes for Consistent Results

Fit the Serpent 500575 with care, ensuring fasteners are seated without over-tightening. Regularly inspect mounting holes and retorque after initial runs to maintain a secure fit and prevent fretting around the bolts.

A simple upgrade for SDX owners who want a stiffer, lighter front end, the Serpent 500575 offers dependable construction and improved handling for club and clubman racers.

Is machining or trimming required to fit the tower?

No machining should be necessary for a correct SDX fit. Test-assemble using the supplied holes and confirm alignment before final installation.

Should I change damper settings after fitting carbon tower?

You may need slightly different damping or spring rates because the front end will be stiffer. Start with small adjustments and test on your usual surface.

How do I prevent damage to the carbon around screws?

Use correct torque and avoid overtightening. If concerned, fit small washers or use threadlocker rated for RC use to keep everything secure without crushing the carbon.

Can this tower be used on dirt tracks?

Yes, the carbon tower is suitable for dirt running, though routine inspection is important after rough runs to catch any impacts or wear early.
