Fine Tune Chassis Flex with Serpent 401746

The Serpent 401746 Chassis Stiffener provides targeted torsional flexibility for Serpent 4X cars. This short brace mounts between the servo mount and the front topdeck stiffener to help drivers adjust handling characteristics on race day.

Versatile Fit for Different Topdeck Styles

Engineered for versatility, the short stiffener works with both the double vertical topdeck and the flat topdeck, allowing for multiple setup options. Its compact form also contributes to a lower overall weight, which can help with transient response.

Shimming and Mounting Notes

When combined with the rear topdeck stiffener and motor mount, the Serpent 401746 requires a 4mm shim to set correct clearance. This ensures parts do not bind and that steering geometry stays consistent under load.

The shorter length shifts stiffness distribution, increasing torsional flex near the front. This can improve turn-in and front traction but may require shock tuning to match.
Most Serpent 4X configurations accept the part directly. If using nonstandard hardware or body mounts, verify clearances and screw lengths before final fitment.
The stiffener is compact and usually does not interfere with battery trays, but confirm your battery layout when fitting to compact builds.
