Carbon Fibre Tray for Improved Viper Taipan 988e Balance

The Serpent 905101 Carbon Battery Plate fits the Viper Taipan 988e and is a clean upgrade for drivers chasing steadier handling. Built from durable carbon fibre, the plate stays light while resisting flex on demanding runs.

Benefits of Carbon Fibre Parts

Carbon fibre is prized in RC circles for cutting weight without sacrificing stiffness. Replacing plastic battery mounts with a carbon plate reduces flex and helps the chassis respond more predictably during cornering.

Accurate Fitment for the 988e Chassis

This plate is machined to match the Serpent Viper Taipan 988e mounting points, so it installs with minimal fuss and holds the battery securely for consistent weight distribution.

Sharper Handling with Lower Centre of Gravity

By lowering the battery position and trimming mass, the carbon plate improves roll characteristics and mid-corner stability, useful when refining suspension and ride height settings.

Can I run this plate on a modified chassis?

If your chassis retains the stock battery mounts for the Viper Taipan 988e, the plate will fit. Heavily modified frames might need adjustments to the mounting points.

Is adhesive or foam needed to secure the battery?

Use the standard battery straps and some foam padding for snug fitment. Foam helps prevent vibration and keeps the pack from moving under load.

Will the carbon plate affect crash durability?

Carbon is stiff and strong but can crack under severe impact. It improves stiffness but may transfer loads differently than plastic, so inspect after hard crashes.

Does the Serpent 905101 need special mounting hardware?

This plate uses the factory screw pattern and normally works with the stock hardware. Swap to thread-lock on metal screws if you use aluminium mounts to prevent loosening.
