Serpent Medius X20 Mini 1/10 EP chassis

Serpent have entered the M-chassis segment with their Medius X20 Mini 1/10 EP chassis. Taking elements, design features and parts from the its bigger brother, Serpent claim this is the most configurable Mini chassis ever. There are 3 different configurations possible, FWD (Front Wheel Drive), RWD (Rear Wheel Drive) and 4WD, the motor mounting is also adjustable with mid or rear motor positions available. Continuing the crossover of parts from the X20 range, the Mini utilises the V3 composite diff, keeping rolling mass to a minimum whilst maintaining reliability. The single belt 4WD configuration incorporates a CNC aluminium Medius style motor mount giving ultimate adjustment of weight distribution. The wheelbase is also adjustable, in 210mm or 225mm, allowing it to suit the large range of bodyshells available in the class.
