Stiffen Steering with the Serpent 401718 Carbon Mount

The Serpent 401718 Carbon Servo Mount Plate is produced for the 4-X Touringcar EP 190mm chassis, mounting on the right side of the servo bay. This carbon plate increases stiffness to reduce play in the steering system and help maintain precise input during demanding sessions. Its light yet robust construction is aimed at drivers who want stable, repeatable steering behaviour.

Why Carbon Makes a Difference

Carbon fibre offers a high strength to weight ratio, so parts can be made stiffer without adding significant mass. A carbon servo mount helps minimise deflection where steering loads are applied, improving the consistency of turn-in and mid corner feel.

Care and Fitting Advice

Fit the Serpent 401718 Carbon Servo Mount Plate by ensuring the mount sits flat and all fixing points are secured. Inspect fasteners after each event and check the plate for any signs of damage to maintain safe and predictable performance.

Does this replace the stock servo mount?

This item is an upgrade intended for the right-side servo mount on the 4-X Touringcar EP 190mm. It replaces the original mount in that location but may not be a direct swap on other models.

Will it help lap times?

While it does not directly add power, the increased steering precision and reduced flex can help drivers place the car more consistently, which may lead to improved lap times depending on setup and skill.

How should I check for wear?

Examine the carbon for hairline cracks or layer separation, and make sure the screw heads are undamaged. Replace the plate if any structural issues are visible.

Is any special prep required before fitting?

Clean mating surfaces and ensure there is no debris in the mounting area. Fit using the correct screws and verify clearances around the servo and linkages before use.
