Precision Carbon Side Plate for Serpent 747

The Serpent 804272 Carbon Sideplate is built to tighten the Serpent 747 chassis without adding unnecessary weight. Produced from quality carbon fiber and CNC machined for exact tolerances, the plate offers durable support where you need it most. Countersunk holes ensure the plate mounts cleanly with standard hardware.

Setup Gains for Stability and Balance

When used alongside the 804271 aluminium radioplate support, the Serpent 804272 boosts central stiffness and helps keep suspension geometry more consistent under load. That increased rigidity can translate to improved balance through fast corners and more predictable handling in race conditions.

Specifications

  • Material: Precision CNC carbon fibre
  • Compatibility: Serpent 747 chassis
  • Features: CNC machined surface, countersunk fitment

Will this reduce unwanted chassis flex?

Yes, the plate reduces flex in the central section, which helps the suspension work more consistently across bumps and during aggressive cornering.

Is special tooling needed to install the plate?

No special tools are required beyond the standard hex drivers and screwdrivers used for 747 assembly. Verify screw lengths and torque settings when refitting.

Can I run this on varied surfaces like carpet and tarmac?

The added centre stiffness benefits stability on smooth surfaces and provides more predictable responses on medium-grip tracks; tuning will be needed for very rough or low-grip layouts.

Does the plate affect centre of gravity or weight distribution?

The carbon plate is light and concentrates its effect on rigidity rather than shifting CG significantly, but always check balance after installation.
