Refine Viper 988 Corner Entry with the Serpent DTS

The Serpent SER903709 DTS system set is built to refine handling on the Viper 988 1/8 GP. It lets you control front-end grip by changing the load on the inside front wheel based on steering angle and the chosen excentre.

How the DTS Targets Front Grip

Increasing load on the inside front wheel is a common way to improve corner entry. Traditional options like altering roll stiffness, springs or caster can affect overall weight distribution and tyre contact. The DTS targets the issue via steering lock and excentre tuning for a more precise result.

Interchangeable Excentres for Tunable Load

The system uses swap-in excentres to vary the extra wheel load so you can optimise tyre contact with your preferred caster settings. Excentre changes are straightforward, letting you experiment between runs.

Minimise Play for Consistent Behaviour

Setting the DTS with as little play as possible while preserving side-to-side freedom keeps handling consistent during long runs. Small preload and clearance checks go a long way to stable lap times.

Carry the correct size hex drivers, remove the mount screws, swap to the desired excentre and resecure. Keep a small parts tray to avoid losing screws during the change.
Changing inside-wheel load can alter how the tyre contacts the track, which may change wear patterns. Adjust gradually and monitor tyre surface after a few sessions.
Yes, use lighter excentres for low-grip tracks and larger offsets for higher bite. Combine excentre changes with minor caster tweaks to suit the surface.
Often only minimal suspension changes are needed. Use the DTS to fine-tune after you have a baseline spring and roll bar setup so you do not unsettle overall balance.
