Tune X20 Balance with Serpent 402068 5g Ballast

The Serpent 402068 is a lightweight 5 gram ballast created to let hobbyists and racers refine the balance of an X20 chassis. Its compact size makes minor centre of gravity shifts straightforward without complex setup changes.

Improve Cornering and Grip

Adding a small mass alters weight transfer and can enhance grip in specific corners. The 5g weight is ideal for experimenting with front or rear bias to find a better compromise between stability and steering feel.

Fitting Advice for Best Results

Mount the weight where it will influence the behaviour you want to tune - forward for more stability, aft for improved turn-in. Record each change and run consistent test conditions to assess the true effect.

It can reduce lap times by improving balance and corner speed in certain sections, but gains depend on track layout and driver input.
Most X20 setups will accept the weight without extra parts, but check for mounting points and use secure fixings to prevent movement during running.
Test on the surface you usually race on to get meaningful results. Surface grip changes how weight distribution affects handling, so keep the test surface consistent.
Check the mounting regularly for loosening and inspect surrounding components for rubbing or contact after initial runs.
