Improve 4-X Handling with Serpent 401711 Purple Springs

The Serpent 401711 Purple Springs are a firm C8.4 option for the 4-X chassis, aimed at drivers chasing more precise steering and consistent mid corner behaviour. Their purple finish helps with quick identification during setup changes and spares organisation.

How C8.4 Changes the Car

A C8.4 spring rate tightens body control and reduces roll, giving a more direct feel through turns. This makes it easier to set up predictable balance when adjusting shock oil, pistons and ride height.

Compatibility and Typical Scenarios

These springs are compatible with the 4-X chassis and are appropriate for competitive club racing and focused practice sessions. Choose them when you want a firmer baseline to tune damping and anti-roll settings around.

Pairing with Other Rates

Mix and match Serpent spring rates to tune the car for different track surfaces. Complementary options include Spring White C4.4, Spring Yellow C4.9 and Spring Green C9.5 to alter front to rear balance or overall stiffness.

Yes. On tight indoor circuits C8.4 can improve turn-in precision, though you may pair them with softer front or rear rates depending on balance needs.
Wet conditions usually call for softer settings to maximise contact. Consider lower rate springs or adjust damping to maintain traction in the wet.
Keep them clean, inspect for rust or paint chips, and check for consistent free length. Replace if the spring rate seems to change or if coils deform.
