Revolutionizing the RC Touring Car Scene: The Serpent Project 4X
The Serpent Project 4X is not just another touring car; it's a game-changer in the world of 1/10 scale electric touring cars. With its innovative design, the Project 4X offers a fresh take on suspension systems, boasting separate heave and roll dampers that provide unparalleled setup precision. This model is built for those who value performance and adaptability, making it a favorite among competitive racers.
Innovative Suspension Design
One of the standout features of the Serpent Project 4X is its revolutionary suspension system. Unlike traditional setups, the Project 4X employs a separated heave and roll mechanism. This allows for a more refined tuning process, giving you the ability to adjust your car's handling with precision. The heave dampers are compact, requiring minimal oil, yet providing consistent performance thanks to machined pistons and a through-rod system that eliminates the need for membranes.
Performance-Driven Features
Engineered with a focus on competitive performance, the Project 4X includes a variety of features designed to enhance speed and control. The car's carbon fiber chassis is lightweight yet durable, with countersunk holes ensuring equal flex across the platform. The drivetrain incorporates Kevlar-reinforced belts and spring steel components for robust and efficient power transfer.
The steering system is equally impressive, featuring an inverted lever mechanism for optimized Ackermann geometry. This results in more linear steering angles and improved cornering capabilities. Additionally, the Reactive Rear Steering (RRS) system dynamically adjusts toe-in during suspension compression, enhancing cornering speed.
Easy Maintenance and Setup
For those who enjoy tinkering with their setups, the Project 4X makes maintenance straightforward. Its modular design means that components like the differential and spool can be removed quickly, facilitating easy adjustments and repairs. The battery mounting system is versatile, allowing for various configurations depending on your power needs.
