Serpent Project 4X 1/10 Electric Touring Car Kit

This is the Serpent Project 4X 1/10 Scale Electric Touring Car Kit. The Project 4X is Serpent's revolutionary and innovative 1/10 Touring car featuring a unique and proven design, in which the suspensions works in a very effective different way. These changes provide an extremely low center of gravity, a vehicle that is very easy to work on and very durable.

As the car is so unique and different, Serpent will spend even more time to prepare information on assembly, set-up and maintenance to help you learn and understand the concept and unleash its full potential faster. Although at first the Project 4X car looks a bit complicated, after some explaining, you will soon understand it’s actually quite simple and really easy to work with. But the main advantage is that it is very easy to drive and at the same time lightning fast.

Features:

• Completely redesigned suspension system
• Separate roll and heave motion in the car to make set-up easier and more precise
• Roll and heave dampers are small, they need only small amounts of oil
• Dampers include machined pistons for best possible consistency
• All dampers are through rod piston systems so no membrane needed
• Good selection of heave and roll springs
• Anti-roll bar function integrated in roll damper/springs
• Easy and fast to change / replace the whole damper units
• Front and rear end are almost identical, so less spare parts needed
• Pivotball suspension for simplicity and free movement
• The Pivotballs are a lot smaller in diameter than in previous touring cars
• Easy diff and spool removal
• Extremely low center of gravity
• Reversed steering system for better Ackermann geometry
• No top deck needed (topdeck is available as optional for tough racing situations)
• Center stiffener made of 7075 T6 aluminum for rigidness and anti-tweak, connecting the front and rear end
• One piece motor holder which also connects to the center stiffener and the rear RRS system
• Re-Active rear steering RRS system is standard
• Ballraced mid-shaft holders allow easy maintenance and changing of spur gears
• Pullrod activated system with rockers to activate the dampers
• Same heave damper front and rear which is mounted below the diff/spool just above the chassis for lowest possible center of gravity
• New differential using new gears for even smoother functioning
• Battery mounting system allows reposition the battery more front or rear
• In case of shorty LiPos are used, the LiPos can be positioned in 3 configurations
• One screw ride-height adjustment from chassis side
• Lightweight front aluminum spool with hardened steel outdrives to use blades
• Carbon fiber chassis in 2mm as standard
• DJC system in the front made out of spring-steel prevent wheel chatter and rear regular CVD's made out of 7075-T6 aluminum save weight
• One short and one longer Kevlar reinforced drivebelt and supertrue running pulleys, mid-shaft pulleys made out of hard anodized aluminum for maximum durability
