Serpent SRX4 4WD buggy aluminium chassis kit

Serpent’s SRX4 1/10th scale 4WD buggy is now also available with an alloy main chassis plate. While the original kit with carbon fibre chassis is working well in low to medium grip conditions, the aluminium chassis car was designed for medium to high-grip conditions as the alloy chassis is much stiffer than the carbon fibre variant, making for less chassis flex and thus a more consistent handling and faster laptimes on carpet and astro turf tracks. Apart from the hard-anodised 7075-T6 aluminium chassis the alloy kit offers the same features and specifications as the carbon fibre kit and it is available now.
