Upgrading Chassis Response with a Vertical Topdeck

Racers looking to sharpen their Serpent 4X Touring Car can fit the Serpent 401738 Vertical Topdeck Set to alter flex characteristics. The kit features two vertically mounted 2.5mm carbon fibre plates aimed at improving chassis control.

Plate and Adaptor Design Details

The topdeck is made of two matching carbon fibre plates that attach to the front and rear suspension using machined aluminium adaptor plates. This setup encourages linear torsional flex while limiting longitudinal and torsional tweak for a steadier platform.

Flexible Installation Options

You can run the vertical topdeck with the kit's aluminium centre stiffener in place or independently. Removing the H-shaped stiffener plate increases flex at both ends of the chassis to suit lower grip tracks or a livelier handling balance.

Does this topdeck affect straight-line stability?

It can improve straight-line stability by reducing asymmetric twist, resulting in a more stable chassis at speed while still allowing controlled flex.

Will electronics or servo placement need changing?

No major changes to electronics layout are typically required, though check clearance against the vertical plates and adapt mounting points when installing.

Is this suitable for beginners to install?

Installation is straightforward for hobbyists familiar with basic disassembly. Follow kit instructions and use proper fastener torque to avoid alignment issues.
