The Serpent 402204 DJC sleeve BB alu is an accessory that secures and aligns small ball bearings within the Medius X26 steel EP (SER400052) chassis where sleeve-style bearing seats are present. Its aluminium body is chosen to deliver a wear-resistant seating solution for 1/10 electric touring car bearing points.
Usage typically involves swapping the sleeve in to replace aged or damaged bearing seats, or to trim lateral play at suspension and drivetrain mounting spots. As a small insert its influence is on bearing fit and free play rather than on broader chassis geometry; the right sleeve fit can reduce looseness and sharpen repeatability of suspension motion during use.
Installation tips: remove contaminants from the housing, press the sleeve straight into the bore until it sits flush, then verify the bearing runs true without binding. When adjusting for handling, change one variable at a time and re-test on track to assess effects.
