Serpent 748 TQ rear chassis stiffener set

New from Serpent and made for the 748 TQ 200mm nitro on-road car is a rear chassis stiffener set. Designed to connect the radio plate with the right hand 2-speed bulkhead the link is best used on high-bite tracks that can put a lot of stress on the chassis during hard braking. The stiffener prevents unwanted flex for an improved brake feeling and it mounts directly to the 748 TQ and it can also be used on standard 748’s if equipped with the TQ’s right hand bearing and brake holder or in case some DIY work is carried out on the standard part.
