Carbon Fibre Front Shock Tower for the SDX Chassis

The Serpent 500575 Carbon Front Shock Tower is a precise carbon fibre replacement for SDX cars, aimed at improving front-end stiffness and trimming unsprung mass. Its construction helps deliver consistent suspension response lap after lap for track riders who tune their setups carefully.

Advantages of Carbon Fibre Construction

Carbon fibre provides a high stiffness to weight ratio that improves directional control and reduces unwanted flex under load. Fitting this component can make steering feel more direct and help you refine damper and spring choices.

Installation Recommendations

Fit the Serpent 500575 by seating all fixings squarely and applying even torque to avoid point loading. Check fastener tightness after a few sessions and replace any stripped or fatigued screws to maintain a reliable mount.

Specifications

  • Material: Carbon Fiber
  • Compatibility: SDX Chassis
  • Function: Front Shock Tower

A sensible upgrade for SDX owners seeking improved front-end precision and longevity, the Serpent 500575 enhances handling without adding unnecessary mass.

Will this tower alter my set up tuning significantly?

You may notice a firmer front feel which could require small adjustments to damping or spring rates to regain balance. Start with minor changes and evaluate on your usual circuit.

Is carbon more brittle than aluminium for this part?

Carbon is very stiff but can fracture from sharp impacts. It performs well in normal racing but inspect after crashes and consider aluminium if you want a more impact-tolerant option.

What fasteners are recommended for this mount?

Use properly sized, undamaged screws and consider small washers to spread load. Threadlocker can help prevent loosening, but use products suitable for hobby use and removable maintenance.

Can I run this on wet or muddy tracks?

Yes, but clean and dry the mount after muddy sessions to prevent grit from abrading the carbon or mounting hardware. Regular checks will keep performance consistent.
