Overview of the Serpent 905001 touring kit

The Serpent 905001 is an adaptable electric touring car that blends precise machining with straightforward tuning options. It suits newcomers who want to learn setup skills as well as club competitors who need predictable handling adjustments.

Fine tuning to match track and grip

Adjustability is a core strength of the Serpent 905001. Swappable spur gears, multiple body mount heights and ride height shims let you quickly alter the car's balance and traction to suit different surfaces.

Adjustable steering and suspension layout

Taking cues from the 988, this model features steering blocks that allow trailing or leading settings to refine turn-in. The upper arm mount accepts long and short arm positions, giving you control over roll response and mid-corner stability.

Reliable belt layout for smooth drive

The belt-driven drivetrain uses front and rear tensioners so you can maintain consistent power delivery. The adjustable servo saver and Ackerman choices help reduce steering kickback and improve precision at speed.

Flexible battery options for run time or balance

The battery tray is adjustable to fit different pack sizes, letting you prioritise longer runtime or a lower centre of gravity depending on your setup goals.

Pivot adaptors change roll center and ride height, which alters grip distribution. Use them to tune understeer or oversteer tendencies when other settings are exhausted.
