What the Serpent 905001 brings to the track

The Serpent 905001 is a neat, well-appointed electric touring car platform that focuses on sensible adjustability and predictable responses. It is suitable for club racers and tuners who want clear setup feedback from changes.

Track-focused tuning options

This chassis offers a wide range of adjustment points. The interchangeable spur gear and body mount positions make it straightforward to react to different track layouts and grip levels.

Precision steering and arm configurations

Based on lessons learned from the 988, the car has steering blocks that let you choose trailing or leading geometry for different steering characteristics. Upper arm mounts allow long or short arm setups to affect roll and turn-in feel.

Maintaining consistent drive with belt tensioners

Front and rear belt tensioners help keep the drivetrain tight for reliable torque transfer. The adjustable servo saver with Ackerman options also contributes to clean, controllable steering inputs.

Battery placement and setup freedom

The adjustable battery mount supports a range of pack sizes so you can balance runtime against centre of gravity preferences without major layout changes.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/10
  • Power: Electric
  • Adjustability: Comprehensive tuning options for suspension, steering, and drivetrain
  • Belt System: Front and rear adjustable tensioners
  • Compatibility: Accommodates a range of battery sizes

Overall, the Serpent 905001 is a dependable, tunable electric touring car that gives clear responses to setup changes, making it a useful platform for learning and refining race setups.

Use the adjustable servo saver to alter Ackerman. Small changes can affect turn-in and mid-corner steering; test incrementally and record lap times to find the balance you prefer.
Some design elements are shared or derived from the 988, but always check part numbers before swapping. Common tuning parts like arms and steering components may be compatible depending on version.
Check belt alignment, tensioner mounts, suspension arms and steering linkages for bends or play. Replace any distorted parts and confirm bearings spin freely before returning to full power.
Soft compound tyres work well on low-grip surfaces while harder compounds last longer on abrasive tracks. Pair tyre choice with ride height and camber adjustments for best results.
