Serpent SER903772 Arrowspace Magnesium Upgrade for Viper 989 GP

The Serpent SER903772 Arrowspace magnesium chassis drops weight while providing a rigid platform for the Viper 989 GP series. It is aimed at hobbyists wanting a responsive feel and improved mid-corner stability.

Strength and Weight Advantages

Magnesium provides a high strength-to-weight payoff, reducing overall mass without sacrificing structural stiffness. The result is crisper throttle response and improved handling precision.

Installation Tips

As a purpose-built part for the Viper 989 GP, the SER903772 lines up with common mounting points and supports typical component layouts. Take time to align electronics and check clearances during the swap.

User Impressions

Drivers fitting this chassis frequently mention better steering feel and a more planted car through fast corners once the suspension is rebalanced for the lighter platform.

Is the chassis corrosion resistant?

Magnesium needs attention to prevent corrosion; keeping the chassis clean and dry and inspecting mounting points helps avoid issues.

Will this require a shock retune?

Yes, moving to a stiffer, lighter chassis often benefits from softer springs or reduced damping to regain mechanical grip.

Can I paint or anodise it?

Anodising options depend on the finish; consult a specialist to avoid weakening or altering fitment. Painting is possible but should be done carefully.

Does it change weight distribution?

Reducing chassis weight can shift balance; expect small changes and adjust battery and component placement to fine tune handling.

Is professional fitting recommended?

Experienced hobbyists can fit the SER903772 themselves, but newcomers may prefer a workshop or club member to assist with setup and torque settings.
