Precision 2.0mm Carbon Chassis for Serpent Eryx 4.0

The Serpent 401639 chassis is a precision upgrade for the Serpent Eryx 4.0 platform. Cut from 2.0mm ultra-stiff carbon, it is aimed at high-traction racing where a firmer chassis reduces unpredictable flex. The greater rigidity helps maintain consistent handling through repetitive laps.

Which Option Matches Your Circuit

Serpent provides three chassis choices for the Eryx 4.0 to suit a range of surfaces and driver preferences:

  • 401639 - Carbon 2.0mm: Best on very high traction tracks due to its rigidity and minimal flex.
  • 401640 - Aluminum 2.0mm: Typically chosen for indoor carpet where balanced flex and centre of gravity are beneficial.
  • 401641 - Carbon 2.25mm: A slightly thicker carbon plate suited to outdoor asphalt where some compliance aids grip.

Selecting the correct chassis will change how weight is transferred and how the car reacts to inputs, so experiment to find the balance that suits your driving and the track surface. Carbon gives the firmest platform, aluminium offers more compliance.

Yes, the increased chassis stiffness tends to sharpen turn-in and reduce mid corner roll, which benefits cars on very grippy surfaces. You may need to rebalance suspension settings to suit the change.
Typically yes. A stiffer chassis often requires softer damping or different spring rates to recover mechanical grip and avoid a nervous front end. Test incremental changes to find the right setup.
For mixed or unpredictable surfaces, the aluminium 401640 or the thicker carbon 401641 may offer a more forgiving balance. Reserve 401639 for consistently high grip circuits.
