Performance Details for the Serpent 500016 Off-Road Truck

The Serpent 500016 Off-Road Truck focuses on adaptability and robustness, making it a solid base for drivers who prefer to tune rather than replace parts. The chassis layout emphasises practical tuning ranges and straightforward service access.

Fine-Tuneable Mass Distribution

The 500016 offers a variety of weight mounting points that let you move ballast to suit handling targets. Using brass and aluminium options near electronics and the servo gives precise front-to-rear balance control for different surfaces.

Adjustable Carbon Battery Fixing

Carbon battery holders and strap fixings allow quick changes in battery position and orientation. The low-mass mounts assist in keeping centre of gravity options broad, accommodating both high grip and low grip setups.

Improved Front Bulkhead and Geometry

Separated bulkhead supports improve flex response and impact resistance, while a reinforced aluminium front bulkhead improves longevity. Adjustable camber link mounts help you achieve the steering response you need for tight or flowing tracks.

Suspension Settings and Anti-Roll Integration

Adjustable caster-blocks and steering-blocks provide different roll centre options to suit driving style. The integrated anti-roll bar mount works with front and rear bars to reduce body roll and maintain tyre contact under load.

The Serpent 500016 suits tuners who want a resilient, adaptable platform for club or regional competition. Its layout is made for iterative setup work and targeted upgrades.

Start with a neutral weight position and medium anti-roll settings, then adjust battery forward for more steering or rearward for greater traction as surfaces demand.
Standard metric hex drivers and a feeler gauge are usually sufficient. A camber gauge is useful for precise settings, especially when preparing for timed runs.
Stiffer anti-roll bars reduce body roll and can quicken turn-in, but if too stiff they may reduce traction on bumpy sections. Balance bar stiffness with spring rates and tyre choice.
Spare screws, bulkheads and battery straps are typically available from authorised parts suppliers or specialist RC shops. Keep common fasteners in a small parts kit for trackside repairs.
