X26 Aluminium Chassis Plate Overview

This aluminium chassis from Serpent (SER402191) is an RC-scale component designed to serve as a direct replacement or upgrade within the X26 chassis family. The text below focuses on fitment considerations, installation notes, and how the part affects chassis behavior during setup and tuning.

Compatibility is limited to the Medius X26 line referenced as SER400052 in Serpent’s parts list, use this model code to confirm fit before purchase. Because chassis geometry and mounting points are critical, confirm screw hole alignment and battery tray clearance on your specific X26 variant prior to installation.

Installation is straightforward for users familiar with chassis swaps: remove existing lower plate hardware, transfer any required inserts or standoffs, and secure the new plate using the original fasteners. No additional fabrication should be necessary when compatible model numbers match, however verify torque on screws to avoid striping aluminium threads.

From a tuning standpoint, the aluminium plate alters flex and weight distribution compared with plastic or composite originals. Expect increased lateral stiffness and a firmer initial feel; this can improve predictability on high-grip surfaces but may reduce mechanical traction in low-grip conditions. Use shock valving and roll-center adjustments to rebalance chassis response after fitting the aluminium plate.

Confirm the chassis reference SER400052 and visually compare mounting points and clearances; a test fit will reveal any alignment issues before final assembly.
If existing threads are worn, repair or replace them prior to installing the aluminium plate. Take care not to overtighten bolts into aluminium to avoid accelerated wear.
Start with reduced damping and softer springs to offset increased chassis stiffness, then fine tune roll centre and anti-roll settings to restore desired balance.
Dry off the plate after wet use, inspect mounting surfaces for corrosion, and ensure fasteners are torque-checked regularly to protect threads and mating parts.
