Race-Tuned Chassis from Serpent 903617

For hobbyists who want tighter steering and dependable feedback, the Serpent 903617 carbon chassis is a worthwhile upgrade for the Viper 977. The 5mm carbon layup gives a predictable flex pattern that improves responsiveness through corners.

Why Carbon Works for Racing

Carbon fiber offers a top strength-to-weight balance, cutting mass relative to aluminum without sacrificing rigidity where it counts. This yields crisper throttle response and steadier behaviour at speed, helping drivers maintain consistent lines.

Designed to Match Viper 977 Geometry

The chassis is tailored for the Serpent Viper 977 and installs with minimal fuss. Switching from an alloy base or fitting a new build, the 903617 keeps chassis balance and lets you focus on suspension tuning.

Specifications

  • Material: Carbon Fiber
  • Thickness: 5mm
  • Compatibility: Serpent Viper 977

Built for drivers who want a nimble, resilient platform, the Serpent 903617 helps extract better steering and on-track consistency from the Viper 977.

A stiffer or differently flexing chassis can change load distribution across tyres. Monitor wear after the upgrade and tweak toe and camber to even out tyre life.
Carbon is strong, but good practice is to check hole edges and use proper washers where required. Avoid over-tightening fasteners to prevent surface delamination.
Mounting locations stay the same for the Viper 977, but confirm battery and ESC clearance after installation since the carbon plate can sit slightly differently than some alloy variants.
Yes, small shims or bridge supports can alter effective flex. Test one change at a time to understand its effect on steering and mid-corner balance.
