Serpent 411 floating servo-holder

Serpent 411 floating servo-holder

Serpent have released their new innovative floating servo-holder, a standard item on the 411 ERYX. The early version of the 411 car already featured a different servo mount plate, which hardly influenced flex at all and was simple and worked fine. This new system is mounted directly to the steering-system, while a carbon fibre holder flows around the servo, and the servo thus floats above the chassis. The direct connection to the steering system in the center of the car makes it the optimal solution, and it also keeps the CG even lower and weight more centered in the car. Fits all 411 TC cars, 411, LE, TE, Sport and RTR.
