This car brings together all of Serpents gas and electric racing knowledge to deliver the race proven geometry, bulletproof drive-line and smooth shock absorbers of a gas car combined with the weight distribution, flex options and belt drive layout of the 4X touring car.

Carbon Spacer

By just removing or adding the inserts to increase or decrease steering and turn-in. The ribs in the bottom guide the air below the chassis and body.

Rear End Construction w/ Aluminum Brackets

The rear end construction with aluminium brackets is a very open design, which allows for easy of maintenance and cleaning. Dis-assembly requires the removal of only a few screws. Replacing a belt if needed, is a simple task. The eccentric bearing holders on the rear shaft allow adjustment of belt tension. The whole rear end can be removed as one unit from the chassis by removal of only a few screws.

Narrow Solid Rear Axle

The narrow solid rear axle in Serpent spring steel has a lightweight 9mm wide 48T pulley. The axle has a double slot for the driveshaft pin for lightness and long life. Spring steel, CVD type, drive shafts connect the rear shaft to spring steel wheel-axles with aluminium quick change levers. A very durable and long lasting drivetrain.

Rear Floating Body Mount

The rear floating body mount which is mounted on the up-rights with 2 arms is centered by a carbon-fiber and steel guider. The mount has 4 positions on each side to choose from, depending on body shell used and traction available. The threaded holes on the end of the body mount give the option to add further body supports.
