401641 Carbon Chassis for Controlled Road Handling

The Serpent 401641 carbon chassis is crafted from 2.25mm carbon fibre to offer a controlled blend of stiffness and flexibility for the Eryx 4.0 model. It is often selected for outdoor asphalt where its balance helps drivers dial in predictable handling without sacrificing adjustability.

Overview of available Eryx 4.0 chassis plates

Choose from different chassis types to suit surface grip and driving style:

401639 Chassis Carbon 2.0mm: Designed for very high traction tracks with minimal flex for direct steering feel.
401640 Chassis Aluminum 2.0mm: Aluminium option with lowered sides for indoor carpet and a lowered centre of gravity.
401641 Chassis Carbon 2.25mm: A generalist carbon plate that performs well on outdoor asphalt and adapts across setups.

Will the 401641 affect lap time compared with 2.0mm plates?

The 2.25mm plate changes cornering balance rather than outright speed; lap time gains depend on track and suspension tuning rather than thickness alone.

Is the 401641 compatible with standard electronics layouts?

Yes, it does not alter electronics mounting; standard ESC, motor and battery positions remain compatible with the Eryx 4.0 chassis setup.

How does 401641 compare to the aluminum 401640 in feel?

The carbon 401641 offers more tuned flex and feedback, whereas the aluminium 401640 typically gives a firmer, more muted response on carpet.

Any tips for setting up the car with this plate in damp conditions?

In damp conditions soften suspension, reduce front toe-in and use higher-traction tyres to maintain grip without overworking the chassis.

Should I rotate between chassis plates during a race weekend?

Swapping plates can be useful if track conditions change significantly; bring a stiffer and a more flexible option and compare lap times during practice.
