Serpent 500897 Shock 13mm Rod End +3 (4 pcs)  [SER500897]

13mm Shock Rod End, +3 Offset

This Serpent 500897 rod end is a small-scale replacement part designed for RC dampers that accept 13mm shock rod ends. The item is identified as a +3 variant, supplied as a set of 4 pcs, and intended for use on model damper linkages where a slightly longer rod-end offset is required to alter geometry or preload.

Installers should use standard damper disassembly practices, remove the affected rod end and replace with the +3 unit while checking thread engagement and free movement of the linkage. No special tools are required beyond common hex drivers and pliers used in RC maintenance, and the part is described here strictly as an RC-scale accessory for model suspension tuning.

In tuning terms, a +3 rod end changes the effective link length and can be used as part of incremental setup adjustments to fine-tune roll centres and shock leverage on the model; test one change at a time and record handling differences.
