Refine Eryx 4.0 Handling with a 2.0mm Aluminium Plate

The Serpent 401640 2.0mm Aluminium Chassis is a targeted upgrade for the S411 Eryx 4.0 designed to improve performance on carpet by lowering the centre of gravity and giving measured flex for improved cornering precision.

Which Option Matches Your Track and Style

Serpent provides three chassis options so you can select the best compromise between stiffness and compliance:

  • 401639 - 2.0mm Carbon Chassis: For high grip tracks where stiff response and minimal flex are preferred.
  • 401640 - 2.0mm Aluminum Chassis: Tailored to indoor carpet, offering balanced flex and lower rails for better handling symmetry.
  • 401641 - 2.25mm Carbon Chassis: Slightly more flexible than the thin carbon, suited to outdoor or rougher asphalt circuits.

Drivers favour the aluminium plate when they need a reliable, tuneable base that reacts predictably to setup changes.

Yes, the lower centre of gravity and distinct flex pattern change how the car enters and holds a corner, especially on carpet surfaces.
Aluminium and carbon differ in weight and stiffness; the plate may shift balance slightly, so you should adjust battery position and ballast as needed.
Keep mounting bolts torqued, check for burrs or dents after hard impacts, and clean contact areas to preserve consistent flex and fitment.
