Serpent 903010 Serpent 966-TE Competition 1/8 Scale 4WD Chassis  [SER903010]

On-Road Competition Platform: Serpent 966-TE

The Serpent 966-TE takes the 1/8 on-road formula forward from the Serpent 960, providing a chassis focused on precision and setup range. This Team Edition targets drivers who prioritise tunability and consistent handling at race pace.

Chassis Build and Handling Traits

Built around a 5mm 7075-T6 aluminum plate, the Serpent 966-TE delivers the torsional stiffness needed for predictable cornering. The independent double wishbone layout combined with RCC-X shocks gives control and feedback through the turn. A split carbon radio plate with flex adjustment helps dial chassis balance.

Performance-Oriented Componentry

Equipped with an SL8 light 2-speed gearbox, the design reduces inertia for sharper acceleration. The Centax-II clutch is externally adjustable to refine engagement under load. Rear suspension geometry can be tuned with adjustable roll centres and camber rise to match different track surfaces.

Setup Flexibility and Maintenance

The platform allows easy changes to camber, caster, toe, track width and wheelbase so drivers can refine handling for grip levels and driving style. High quality bearings throughout keep drivetrain losses low, while quick-release wheels speed pit-side tyre swaps.

The Serpent 966-TE is a capable choice for racers who want a tunable, durable chassis that responds well to detailed setup work and track conditions.
