Tune Your Project 4X with the Serpent 401647 Carbon Plate

The Serpent 401647 Carbon Front Stiffener Plate is a precision upgrade for the Project 4X Touringcar that targets front chassis flex. By bracing the front section of the EP 190mm chassis, this carbon plate delivers firmer response and steadier steering under load while maintaining a minimal weight penalty.

Key Gains for Club and Race Use

  • Material: Carbon fiber construction for stiffness without unnecessary bulk.
  • Compatibility: Specifically shaped for the Project 4X Touringcar EP 190mm chassis to ensure correct alignment.
  • Functionality: Boosts front-end rigidity to aid cornering precision and feedback.

Fitting Advice and Setup

Installation of the Serpent 401647 is straightforward; just follow recommended screw torque and recheck front geometry after assembly. Small suspension adjustments after fitting will help you dial in the new balance for different track surfaces.

Is the fit bolt-on or does it need trimming?

The Serpent 401647 is a bolt-on component designed to match the Project 4X EP 190mm chassis geometry, so no trimming should be necessary for correct fit.

Will I need to change spring or damper settings?

Often a small damper or spring tweak is helpful after increasing chassis stiffness to preserve compliance and tyre contact on bumpy tracks.

Can carbon fatigue be a concern?

Carbon can develop hairline damage after hard impacts; inspect the plate regularly, especially around mounting holes, and replace if you spot cracks.

Will this affect steering feel on low-grip surfaces?

On low-grip surfaces, added stiffness can make the front more eager; you may need to soften roll control or add front toe to regain predictability.

What maintenance should I perform after racing?

Clean the plate of dust and grime, check fastener tightness, and inspect for any signs of stress at mounting points after each event.
