Mastering the Road: The Serpent 804013 Touring Car
In the realm of RC on-road touring cars, the Serpent 804013 stands out as a marvel of engineering and performance. Designed for both seasoned racers and passionate hobbyists, this model combines cutting-edge technology with meticulous craftsmanship, ensuring a superior racing experience.
Aerodynamics and Protection: The New Front Bumper
The newly designed front bumper of the Serpent 804013 not only enhances its aerodynamic profile but also offers unparalleled protection. With the option to fit medium or small foam bumper pads, racers can customize the level of impact absorption to their liking. The upper carbon fiber body plate, secured with aluminum posts, ensures that the vehicle's body stays firmly in place during high-speed maneuvers.
Chassis Innovation: Strength and Flexibility
At the heart of the Serpent 804013 is its symmetrical chassis plate crafted from 7075 T6 aluminum. This material is known for its strength and lightweight properties, providing optimized flex and torsion. With chamfered edges for increased ground clearance during cornering and countersunk holes for smooth assembly, the chassis is a testament to precision engineering.
Shock Absorption: Low Big Bore Shocks
The suspension system features low big bore shocks with coated, threaded aluminum bodies. These shocks include a supersmooth x-ring and machined bushing package to guide and seal the spring-steel piston rods. The precision-machined pistons are available in three different types, allowing for tailored damping responses. Additionally, the light yet robust nylon spring-cups and color-coded springs enhance tuning capabilities.
Steering and Stability: Precision Components
The Serpent 804013’s steering system includes strong composite steering blocks with adjustable Ackermann positions. Inserts allow for changes in kingpin inclination, offering either a leading or trailing position. For those seeking even more direct steering feedback, optional carbon fiber aero disks can be installed. Meanwhile, durable uprights and a solid rear axle provide stability and grip, essential for maintaining control at high speeds.
