Refine Viper 990E Handling with the Serpent 904218 Carbon Topdeck

Drivers focused on sharper chassis control can fit the Serpent 904218 Carbon Vertical Topdeck to their Viper 990E. Manufactured from quality carbon fiber, this topdeck raises stiffness to reduce flex under load, helping the car hold its line through corners. It is a practical choice for those tuning for lap consistency.

Performance Gains from Carbon

Carbon fibre offers a high stiffness-to-weight advantage in RC applications. When applied to the Viper 990E, the topdeck reduces flex and preserves strength, resulting in improved turn-in and mid-corner stability without a heavy penalty.

Mounting and Setup Recommendations

The Serpent 904218 installs on the Viper 990E using standard mounting holes. Fasten hardware evenly and inspect alignment after tightening. Expect to make minor suspension or shock adjustments to complement the stiffer chassis for best lap times.

The Serpent 904218 is made to fit the Viper 990E mounting layout and acts as a direct upgrade for that model. Verify hole alignment on your chassis before final assembly.
With increased chassis stiffness you may find the car is quicker to turn and more stable mid-corner, so minor tweaks to camber, toe or spring rates can optimise balance.
Inspect for cracks after impacts, clean with a soft cloth and avoid solvents that could affect finishes. Replace if any structural damage is found.
The topdeck works with many aftermarket parts that maintain the same mounting layout, but confirm compatibility with items like tall shock towers or body mounts before fitting.
Carbon parts can be more brittle than metal in heavy impacts; inspect and if needed replace the topdeck after a significant crash rather than attempting extensive repairs.
