Heritage Steering Upgrade

The Serpent 401471 Aluminium Steering Rack provides a robust replacement for ageing steering components in classic RC kits. Its aluminium construction helps maintain consistent steering geometry over time.

What Aluminium Brings to Steering

Aluminium is stronger and less prone to deformation than plastic, delivering a firmer steering feel and better repeatability. The Serpent 401471 steering rack cuts down on unwanted movement for more accurate control.

Fitting Notes for Restorers

Specifically shaped for Serpent Vintage Series arrangements, this rack fits most models from that line with minimal adjustment. It suits restorers who want a reliable, long lasting steering solution.

Specifications

  • Material: Aluminum
  • Compatibility: Serpent Vintage Series
  • Function: Steering Control Enhancement

Will this replace the plastic rack without modifying the chassis?

On genuine Serpent vintage models it will normally bolt in as a direct replacement. Check mounting screws and clearances during installation to ensure smooth operation.

Can I use the existing steering links and servo horn?

In most cases the existing links and servo horn will work. Confirm spline compatibility and linkage lengths before final assembly to keep proper geometry.

How do I check alignment after fitting the Serpent 401471?

Set the wheels straight, centre the servo and then adjust toe and tie rod ends until the steering tracks true. Recheck after a short test run and retighten fasteners.

Are there recommended upgrades to pair with this rack?

Consider quality ball joints and a firm servo mount to get the best from the aluminium rack, as these parts help preserve precise steering alignment.
